Book Reviews of Dilbert: 2010 Day-to-Day Calendar
Book Review: WAS Getting better every year - until 2011
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been getting this calendar for some years, and came to enjoy it even more about 5 years ago when I left my office to take a job in a cubicle farm. Before this calendar I had alternated each year between different calendars such as The Far Side and whatever was the big movie of the previous. Once this one landed on my desk, it quickly locked me in to wanting another each subsequent year. Maybe it was the uncanny similarity between the pointy-hair boss and my real life boss, or maybe it was the spot on parody of situations too silly to happen in real life and yet they've somehow happened to me and to you (admit it!).
And besides the ongoing assortment of brilliant office parody which never seems to run out of great material, somehow this calendar continues to introduce improvements year after year after year, even when that year I wonder whether all possible improvements have been made and this is roughly what we'll get next year, only with a new assortment of funny. But look at what's offered:
<< list of improvements deleted as pretty much all of these have been removed from 2011!!!! >>
***** EDIT FOR 2011 EDITION *****
For whatever reason, the Daily Extra was removed with the 2011 edition. I'm so disappointed. This was a fantastic addition to 2010, and each day I looked forward to seeing what was on the flip side of the page. The Sudoku puzzles were a nice thing to do during a break, and the other puzzles and quotes were delightful. Hopefully this will make it back into the 2012 edition.
ADD'l edit for 2011: I just noticed that the Saturday and Sunday pages have been combined into a single weekday-derived 3 panel
cartoon and that there are no longer any of the longer Sunday cartoons that graced the calendar last year. I'm terribly missing reading those longer weekend cartoons on Monday morning as a sort of consolation for having to deal with Monday morning. Is this a cost-cutting measure, with 52 pages eliminated from the calendar? If so, why not just go with the longer Sunday cartoon on the combined weekend page instead of the shorter Saturday one? I'm not especially pleased with any of the 2011 changes. If I didn't enjoy the cartoons so much, I'd consider going with a different calendar next year. I may yet, in fact. And one further note is in order. As I went to pull off the first few pages to get myself up to the first day back to work, the paper cover at the top of the glue strip just fell off as if no glue had been used. The calendar doesn't look as if it's going to stay on the plastic backer for long.
Cost-cutting has really gone too far: 52 fewer pages, less ink due to not going with the 8-frame Sunday panels on weekends instead of the 3 panel Saturday, less ink due to not including the Daily Extras on the back, and less glue to hold the thing together. Ridiculous. Next year I'll wait for the reviews before I buy one. Hopefully the other calendars are coming from another publisher who is using an ample amount of glue and not shorting us on the content.
