Still great comics with a lot of intelligent sarcasm.
And -- it's a new collection!
The strange part of collecting this "Dilbert" series is that quite a lot of the books are reprints of former books.
And you often don't notice until you start reading.
This one is new -- i.e. no reprints from former books.
Go ahead, let Dilbert make you laugh.
But: small doses, because the same themes keep coming up.

As always I thoroughly enjoyed the new(ish) Dilbert book "I'm tempted to stop acting randomly". Dilbert always makes me laugh and I can recognise so many current and past colleagues in the book!
One point as a 'downer' however is that I regularly buy the Diulbert calendar (it is always my xmas tree present) and many of the cartoons in this book appear on the 2011 calendar so I had already seen many of them quite recently.
Perhaps the publishers should consider waiting a while before putting calendar cartoons in a book or vise versa!

The Best "Dilbert" Collection in the Last Few Years
17 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
America's favorite cubicle-dweller, Dilbert, is back in I'M TEMPTED TO STOP ACTING RANDOMLY, a collection of "Dilbert" comic strips from July 26, 2009-May 2, 2010. The previous two or three collections of "Dilbert" strips before I'M TEMPTED TO STOP ACTING RANDOMLY have been a bit of a let down. Comics in general use some of the same jokes over and over. It's the nature of the game and in a more narrowly focused strip, such as "Dilbert", the same jokes will be seen more often because the world of the strip is smaller. However, the past several "Dilbert" collections have been overly repetitive. There were no memorable storylines and hardly anything interesting happened to the characters.
I'M TEMPTED TO STOP ACTING RANDOMLY steps outside of the box. The characters are the same and some of the jokes are the same, but overall things are more fresh and original. The Pointy-haired Boss hires a foodie to work for the company, Dilbert grows wings, Alice is sent to cultural sensitivity training, Asok looses his soul to the company's new ombudsman, Dilbert is forced to complete an unfinished project (left by an employee who quit) that ends up turning people into goat-headed hybrids, and Aosk gets a weird disease that causes his nose to grow whenever someone lies at a business meeting which causes him to get a nose transplant from a veterinarian. There are also a few visits with the Elbonians and Dilbert goes on more dates in this collection than I can remember him being on for years.
However, the best story in the entire collection and, perhaps the best story in the history of Dilbert is when Carol messes up the Pointy-haired Boss's security clearance and he has to go into hiding. He gets stuck in the ductwork and eventually ends up dying and going to the afterlife. He's eventually evicted but brings back a demon to be the company's new ombudsman. It is that demon that steals Aosk's soul which leads into an entirely other storyline.
Fans of "Dilbert" will want to own I'M TEMPTED TO STOP ACTING RANDOMLY. It's not as repetitive as the last few "Dilbert" collections have been and it's worth owning for the Pointy-haired Boss duct work storyline alone.

Dilbert and friends are as funny as ever in this latest book by Scott Adams. I have enjoyed it thoroughly. All new stuff, no repeats from previous works. Highly recommend.
Excellent!

An excellent collection of Dilbert comics. Great when you need to feel better about your workplace or "bond" with someone who knows how it feels to have a horrible boss and incompetent upper management.
Four stars only because there doesn't seem to be a way to zoom. I realize it's difficult because Dilbert is image-based, but the text is TINY and I don't like having to turn my Kindle on its side and re-orient the page to see them properly.
