"When the cubicle police outlaws plastic plants for fear they will attract dumb bugs, Dilbert takes a stand. However, back in his cubicle, he sweats out his decision to harbor a pathetic plastic flower. "I'm a rebel...I'm evil. My antiperspirant is breaking down!" he waits. Despite his best intentions, Dilbert isn't cut out to live the life of a fugitive.
Called the "cartoon hero of the workplace" by the San Francisco Examiner, Dilbert has become more than just a celebrity since he was created. The corporate cog is revered by technology and computer works, engineers, white-collar types, scientists and everyone else who works these days. We all count on Dilbert's deadpan perspective to provide just the right hilarious twist to the all-too-familiar ups and downs of life in and out of the office!
This new collection of Adam's works captures it all, from clueless management decrees to near revolts among the cubicly confined. If you eagerly open the paper everyday to see yourself and your world through the fuzzy focus of this immensely popular cartoon, Fugitive from the Cubicle Police, featuring that short-sleeved wonder with the flipped-up tie won't let you down!
Scott Adams' reputation suffered in his later years, but throughout the nineties, his mordant workplace comic strip was consistently funny, resonated with any employee and was hugely popular.
While working at Pacific Bell, devoting time to building a new career, Adams woke up every day at 4 a.m. and spent time on various endeavors; cartooning proved to be the most successful of them. In 1989, while still employed at Pacific Bell, Adams launched Dilbert with United Media. The workplace strip gained popularity. It was syndicated in 100 newspapers in 1991 and 400 by 1994.
Adams's success grew, and he became a full-time cartoonist as Dilbert reached 800 newspapers. In 1997, Adams won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist and Best Newspaper Comic Strip. By 2000, the comic was in 2,000 newspapers in 57 countries and 19 languages.
His comic strips were adapted as an animated television series, which premiered in January 1999 and ran for two seasons on UPN. Adams served as executive producer and showrunner, along with Seinfeld writer Larry Charles. The show earned a Primetime Emmy Award in 1999.
