Some things you might want to know about Dilbert

Scott Adams draws Dilbert, a comic strip first published
in April 16, 1989. It is a comic that is about the white
collar micro-managed office and uses satire and wit to
represent various work-life situations. The main character
is Dilbert, an engineer. This comic strip became so popular
that it now has several books, a computer game, an animated
television series and a "frooglepoopillion" of Dilbert
themed merchandise.

The comic strip appears in multiple newspapers across the
United States. It is a featured comic strip in two thousand
newspapers in sixty-five countries and twenty-five
languages. Adams has also received the National Cartoonist
Society Reuben Award and the Newspaper Comic Strip Award in
1997.

Originally the comic strip was centered on Dilbert and
Dogbert, Dilbert's pet dog, in their home, but now the
locale included Dilbert's workplace and various social
venues as well. Many of the plotlines are about Dilbert's
bizarre inventions and engineering nature. There are also
plot lines about Dogbert's obsession with world domination.

The comedy of the Dilbert comics is called satire. The
satire in Dilbert makes fun of certain everyday elements,
like workplace interactions, technology and company
problems. The success of the comic is said to derive from
the change of scene from Dilbert's home to the workplace
environment. Since most people are frustrated at work
Dilbert struck a chord with the reading public.

Here are some different themes that are explored in the
Dilbert comic strip:

- Attraction to tools and technological products
- Bizarre cultural habits
- Budgeting, accounting, payroll and financial advisors
- Corporate bureaucracy
- Dilapidation
- Engineers' personal traits
- Esotericism
- Failure to communicate objectives
- Failure to improve others' morale, lowering it instead
- Failure to reward success or penalize laziness
- Fourth World countries and outsourcing (Elbonia)
- Gullibility in the face of obvious scams
- Handling of projects doomed to failure or cancellation
- Hopelessness in dating (and general lack of social skills)
- Idiosyncrasy of style
- Incompetent and sadistic management
- ISO audits
- Lack of understanding of capitalism
- Micromanagement
- Penalizing employees for failures caused by bad management
- Sadistic HR policies with flimsy (or purely evil) rationale
- Scheduling and budgeting without reference to reality
- Stupidity of the general public
- Susceptibility to advertising
- Susceptibility to flattery
- Susceptibility to peer pressure

Dilbert is a rare humorous look into all of the frustrations
in the corporate business workplace. In this realm "busy
work" is praised while employees' real skills and effort are
ignored or condemned, and office politics stands in the way
of any real productivity.
