The perfect cube for your cube
If you're new to Dilbert, he's a small guy who works in a highly bureaucratic engineering firm. The comics satirise office politics beautifully.

The 2010 Day to Day calendar is a small block of 365 dated comic strips, designed to be torn off on a daily basis. Each page is printed in colour - the overall color scheme is green and purple. This year a new addition to the Day to Day calendar is the "daily extra" printed on the back of each page. Sometimes it's a small brain teaser (eg a sudoku puzzle, a word search or a maze). Or it might be a riddle, a joke, a piece of trivia or an inspiring quote. There are also occasional household hints. On the weekend pages there might be a template to write notes for the babysitter or just a blank space to jot notes.

Unlike previous years, the 2010 calendar is not shrinkwrapped, but it still arrived without damage.

I give the Dilbert day-to-day calendar to my father every year for Christmas. He very much enjoys having a new Dilbert strip to read everyday and often saves cartoons to pass onto others. If you work in an office environment - or have escaped from one! - this is a wonderful calendar.

Brilliant for anyone who's ever worked in an office!
I give the Dilbert day-to-day calendar to my father every year for Christmas. He works in senior management and very much enjoys having a new Dilbert strip to read everyday and to share with his staff. When he goes away, he actually takes the pages that he is going to miss with him so that he doesn't miss reading any. He often saves hilarious and appropriate cartoons to give to my husband (who works in IT) or to me (I work in Marketing). If you work in an office environment - or have escaped from one! - this is a wonderful calendar.

I was pleasantly surprised to see one change in this year's format: all the cartoon strips are now in color! Otherwise the layout and format is as per previous years. The inside pages are shrinkwrapped so they are well protected in transit to you.

The other thing I appreciate about the Dilbert calendars is that there is enough material to keep them fresh. Before Dilbert, I used to give my father a Farside calendar, but after 3-4 years he noticed that some cartoons were repeating from previous years. So far this has not occurred with the Dilbert calendar. (The cartoons are also different from the ones that appear on the daily Dilbert on Dilbert.com.) I highly recommend it.

Recycling taken too, too far!!!!!!
I've bought the Dilbert day to day calendar every year for about five years (used to buy Far Side until it became unavailable). Last year I was a bit disappointed as a proportion (about 5%-10%) were one's I'd seen before (there had been a small number the year before that) but recycling of cartoons is obviously an exponential growth idustry as this one contains about 80% of cartoons I'd had before in the calendar. In order to meet next year's forecast of 170% I reckon that by May 2010 we'll start to see one's from January 2010 repeated. Not that I'll buy next years. Very disappointing. p.s. I'd pre-ordered, forgot about it and received it at end of March 09; wish I'd just returned it.
