Dilbert At A Glance
Dilbert (first published April 16, 1989) is an American comic strip character written and drawn by Scott Adams. Dilbert is known for his satirical humor about his white-collar, micromanaged office. His strip has spawned several books, a television series, a computer game, and other merchandise. Dilbert appears in 2000 newspapers worldwide in 65 countries and 25 languages.We originally saw mostly Dilbert and Dogbert at home. Many plots revolved around Dilbert's engineer nature or his bizarre inventions. These alternated with plots based on Dogbert's megalomaniacal ambitions. Later, the location of most of the action moved to Dilbert's workplace at a large technology company, and the technology workplace and company issues were contemplated and satirized. Dilbert's popular success is attributable to its workplace setting and themes, which are familiar to a large and appreciative audience. Dilbert portrays corporate culture as a Kafkaesque world of bureaucracy for its own sake and office politics that stand in the way of productivity, where employees' skills and efforts are not rewarded, and busy work is praised. Much of the humor emerges as the audience sees the characters making obviously ridiculous decisions that are natural reactions to mismanagement.
(...from Wikipedia)
Some Other Characters From Dilbert's World:
...from www.dilbert.com
DOGBERT: Genetically he may be a dog, but Dogbert is no man's best friend. He treats people with disdain, reserving special contempt for Dilbert, who's no master--or match--for Dogbert. (Although he wouldn't admit it, if push came to shove, he'd protect the bumbler. And never let him forget it).
THE POINTY HAIRED BOSS: He's every employee's worst nightmare. He wasn't born mean and unscrupulous, he worked hard at it. And succeeded. As for stupidity, well, some things are inborn.
WALLY: Dilbert's colleague and fellow engineer is a thoroughly cynical employee who has no sense of company loyalty and feels no need to mask his poor performance or his total lack of respect.
ALICE: Alice is the only female engineer in Dilbert's department. She's habitually overworked. Her cardiovascular system is basically coffee. She has a quick temper when confronted with the idiocy of her co-workers. She does not handle criticism well.
CATBERT Catbert is a typical cat, in the sense that he looks cute but he doesn't care if you live or die. As Human Resources Director at Dilbert's company, he teases employees before downsizing them.
RATBERT Ratbert is a simpleminded optimist. He wants nothing more than to be loved, but he's doomed to ratdom which, despite his cheerfulness, makes him an unlikely candidate for affection. His resiliency enables him to continually be the butt of everyone's jokes.
THE GARBAGEMAN: Dilbert's "sanitation engineer" is a mysterious character who has inexplicable knowledge of all subjects from science to philosophy. He shows up occasionally to solve impossibly complex problems for Dilbert or Dogbert.
BOB THE DINOSAUR: One day Dilbert determined that it was impossible for all dinosaurs to be extinct. Lo and behold, Bob the Dinosaur appeared from behind the couch. Bob is dumb, cheerful and follows Dogbert's commands without question. Dinosaurs may no longer rule the Earth but Bob is the king of the wedgies.
PHIL: Phil, The Prince of Insufficient Light, is the ruler of Heck (for sinners whose transgressions aren't serious enough for Hell). He pops up about once a year to impose mild sanctions for mild sins. For example, once he punished Dilbert by making him eat lunch with the accountants.
CAROL: She's the "secretary from hell" who hates her job and finds perverse joy in making everyone within a two-mile radius suffer.

It's Wally's Special Day
Dilbert Minisode - The Shroud of Wally
Everybody run, there's cake in the conference room. It's Wally's birthday and he's definitely in for a surprise. All he really wanted was some ice cream, a quick song from his coworkers, and some time to watch a Minisode. He certainly wasn't interested in becoming the messiah in a cult religion. Happy birthday, Wally. Now get back to work.
