Still Pumped from Using the Mouse #[nn]

Dilbert flexes a triumphant fist on the cover of this 1996 Scott Adams collection, looking thoroughly self-satisfied beside a computer mouse — the joke practically writes itself. Adams's clean, expressive linework captures everything endearing about office-drone humor, with that deadpan purple background putting Dilbert's modest victory front and center. A perfect snapshot of why this strip struck such a nerve with cubicle workers everywhere.
