Any Resemblance Between Jen Gov and Dilbert?

Answers to this question will influence whether I read Jen Gov or not.

Because I hate Dilbert.

Oops. I hope I just didn't just prejudice your answers :wink:

How can you possibly hate Dilbert?

I don't think there is that much in common....

No, there is absolutly nothing in common, except perhaps the strong presence of companies in both. May I ask where you got this idea?

Not specifically. I'm planning of buying the Jen Gov book as soon as I can, but was just making sure it is not like other Corporate satires (in this case Dilbert,) which however popular, I find them very annoying.

That's all there is to it. No one suggested to me at all that there is any similarity between Jen Gov and that cartoon strip. The question simply popped in my head. :)

Jennifer Government spoofs corporate-run society and belief in pure markets. However, it does not spoof corporate culture like Dilbert does.
