The Joy of Work (1998) by Scott Adams is a two-part book. The first part offers recommendations as to how office workers can find happiness at their cubicle desks and the second part is a formula for creating humor, based on the author's experience penning the Dilbert comic strip.[1]

‘Dilbert’ Was Always MAGA
As a Jew from a liberal East Coast town, I have been deprived of a MAGA uncle to argue with. To fix this, I sought out Scott Adams, the wildly successful syndicated “Dilbert” cartoonist who, by 2017, had come out in support of Donald Trump and amassed an online community that raged against the smug progressive elites.
身為一個來自東岸自由派小鎮的猶太人，我一直缺少一個可以與之辯論的「讓美國再次偉大」（MAGA）支持者叔叔。為了彌補這一遺憾，我找到了斯科特·亞當斯，這位創作了風靡一時的連載漫畫《呆伯特》的漫畫家。到了2017年，他公開支持唐納德·川普，並在網路上建立了一個聲勢浩大的社群，抨擊那些自以為是的進步精英。

三十多年來，《呆伯特》漫畫記錄了高科技公司職場的荒誕之處，並辛辣諷刺了管理層。主角呆伯特是一位在高科技公司格子間工作的鬱鬱不得志的工程師，他那聰明伶俐、擬人化的寵物狗伯特夢想著統治世界。其他角色包括呆伯特的同事愛麗絲、阿索克和沃利；倒霉的尖頭老闆；以及火紅色的貓咪卡特伯特，這位邪惡的人力資源主管。
For more than 30 years, “Dilbert” chronicled the absurdities of the high-tech workplace and skewered management. The title character was a frustrated engineer working from a cubicle at a high-tech company whose intelligent, anthropomorphic pet, Dogbert, dreamed of world domination. Other characters included Dilbert’s co-workers, Alice, Asok and Wally; the hapless Pointy-Haired Boss; and Catbert, the fire-red-colored cat and evil head of human relations.
