Dilbert: 2009 Day-to-Day Calendar (Dilbert) by: Scott Adams publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing released: 2008-07-01 ISBN: 0740774638 $10.39

Wally practices work avoidance as if it's some New Age religion, Alice resorts to violent measures to relieve stress, and Dilbert remains cluelessly above it all. Throw in a boss who manages via buzzwords, and you have the main players in the favorite strip among office dwellers everywhere: Dilbert. It's a cast of characters all too familiar to most, which accounts for no small part of its amazing success. It seems that everyone knows, has worked with, or unknowingly is a Dilbert type.

This Dilbert day-to-day takes on a new look for 2009 with every one of the strips in full color.

As always AMAZON and Scott Adams have successfully teamed up to provide a great day-to-day calendar (& on-time with a fair price). As I turn over a new page, each antic starts my day with a smile.
Thank you, Gary

If you're new to Dilbert, he's a small guy who works in a highly bureaucratic white collar office. The comics satirize office politics beautifully. The humor is similar to the TV series The Office, but Dilbert was the original.

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.

While the day-to-day calendar has been around for a few years now, 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 day-to-day 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.

Cute Overload Page-A-Day Calendar 2009 (Color Page-A-Day(r) Calendars) by: Meg Frost publisher: 2009 Calendars released: 2008-06-15 ISBN: 0761150579 $10.39

"Omigosh—so cute!" (The Boston Globe). Introducing a brand-new calendar based on the phenomenally popular, award-winning blog—with the singular mission of scouring the Web for "only the finest in cute imagery"—anointed "#1 MOOD LIFTER" in Time magazine's "50 Coolest Websites" issue. Cute Overload features day after day of sheer animal adorability: wiggly-nosed bunny rabbits, palm-size puppies, kittens mimicking human traits, fuzzy chicks, koalas, baby pandas, the occasional hedgehog, and The Rules of Cuteness, including #5: Fisheye lens + baby animal is always cute and #10: If you haven't grown into your feet yet, it's cute. Accompanied by a pitch-perfect, smart caption, every picture is guaranteed to elicit an "awww." Truly, "The Gold Standard of Cute" (Wonkette).

I love cuteoverload.com and this calendar does not disappoint. Tons of cute animals and great captions make each day bright. If you are looking for a happy, fun day-at-a-time calendar then this is the one. Enjoy!

I bought this for my girlfriend as a gift. She loves the website and I'm sure she's going to love this just as much! Shnozzles and tock-tober truly are a cute overload.

This calendar is adorable!... for the most part. I wish there were more cute little fluffy animals like the ones on the front. I found that a lot of the images were taken by amateurs (which is expected, and explained) but I was hoping they would be better. Other than that, I love it. Can't wait to add it to my desk at work!

Only bad part is that I can't start using it till next year!! And I'm going to have trouble parting with each day's cute pic, how will I bring myself to rip eeeeeet off? I guess just knowing the next days pic is just as cute...

buy eeeet now!

an adorable composite from my number 1 website!
bought 2 for christmas presents, and they are great!

Thanks Amazon, thanks CO!

The Office (based on the NBC sitcom): 2009 Day-to-Day Calendar by: LLC Andrews McMeel Publishing publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing released: 2008-10-01 ISBN: 0740776479 $10.39

Anyone who works in an office could use a little stress-reducing laughter. The Office: Jokes, Quotes and Anecdotes 2009 Calendar fills that need. With ample amounts of silly office terminology, humorous quotes, funny one-liners, plus resume "don'ts," this calendar is just what every office employee needs. Tear off each self-adhesive page you'd like to keep and stick it anywhere, or add a message and stick it in a coworker's office to add a little humor to the workday.

* This calendar is a perfect fit for any employee's desk and is guaranteed to provide hours of laughter.

* You Know You Are the Office Dork If . . . You wear the company logo attire on non-mandatory days.

* This calendar's adhesive-backed pages allow anyone to keep a joke or funny office quip simply by sticking the page to any surface.

I have no doubt that this will still be a great purchase simply because the show is hysterical. However - the description states that the pages are self adhesive - and they aren't!

Get Fuzzy®: 2009 Day-to-Day Calendar by: Darby Conley publisher: Calendar released: 2008-07-01 ISBN: 0740775731 $10.39

There's something for everyone in Darby Conley's popular comic strip Get Fuzzy. Dog people can praise Satchel's sweetness and point out Bucky's generally irascible disposition, while cat defenders can cite Bucky's independence and deride Satchel's overriding cluelessness. Those with even a shred of empathy can pity poor Rob as he tries to manage the interspecies household. All can agree, though, that the 2009 Get Fuzzy calendar is a hilarious way to spend the year, regardless of which side of the invisible fence you're on.* Get Fuzzy was named Best Comic Strip of 2002 by the National Cartoonists Society.

Though Satchel--who sees in only black and white--won't be much impressed, this Get Fuzzy format just got an upgrade. For the first time, each page's cartoon is presented in full color.

My sister and I love the "Get Fuzzy" cartoon. Each year I buy a calendar for my sister and myself. I can't wait until the start of each new month to see what cartoon comes up. The cartoons are great and there is plenty of space in each day block to write upcoming appointments or notes to myself of things I need to do. Mine is in the kitchen and I look at it as I grab my first cup of coffee. It's a great way to start the day...with a laugh.

Bad Cat Page-A-Day Calendar 2009 (Original Page a Day Calendars) by: Workman Publishing Company publisher: 2009 Calendars released: 2008-06-15 ISBN: 0761149503 $9.59

Bad Cat is paws-down the most offensive cat calendar ever—and the funniest, packed with day after day of inexcusable feline behavior. Here are hundreds of kitties gone crazy: the lethargic and the clumsy, the goofy, the indifferent, the cross-eyed, and the plain ol' mean. Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestselling book this calendar includes Bad Cats in Show Business, Feline Faux Paws, Bad Cat Parole Violations, and Bad Cat Fortune Cookies (Fortune: You will feed me or die).

MEEIOW!!...MEEIOW!!
We like the Moggy Calendar...!!
Licks & Purrs,
Moggy Tommy 'n Moggy Daisy

The Bad Cat Calendar has been one of my favorite Christmas gifts to give for several years now. I give it to all the cat lovers in the family. It's fun watching them open their calendars and immediately start thumbing through the calendar looking for the naughtiest and funniest cats!! I'm the Bad Aunt so it's a purrfect bad gift!!!!

After careful checking yes, this has ALL the dates of the year -- what more do you expect from a calendar?? Seriously, if you love cats you'll get multiple laughs from this calendar -- every day has it's own Bad Cat and any cat owner (or, keeper, since no one OWNS a cat!) will recognize some of these cats --- and their attitudes. If you love cats, and have a desk calendar, this is certainly one to consider. And if you KNOW someone who fits that description, it's a fun inexpensive Christmas present for them!

This is the greatest way to welcome in the New Year! The publisher of this calendar really knows "FUNNY" Everyday is funnier than the last and sure to give you a laugh. This vendor is great and highly recommended!

Never Not Knitting! Page-A-Day Calendar 2009 (Original Page a Day Calendars) by: Stephanie Pearl-McPhee publisher: 2009 Calendars released: 2008-06-15 ISBN: 0761150609 $9.59

For obsessive knitters—and you know who you are—here's a new calendar whose title says it all. Stephanie Pearl-McPhee is a superstar in the knitting world; her bestselling books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Packed with inspiration, passion, and practical advice delivered with the author's signature
humor and wit, Never Not Knitting! will appeal to knitters of all ages. Tuesday Tips, including how to avoid knitting those pesky swatches. Knitting personality
quizzes. Plus weekly "Knitticisms," A Stitch in Time (knitting history), and Purls of Wisdom: No one has ever been killed or maimed by being adventurous with knitting, no matter how pointy the needles.

I imagine readers of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's weblog and books will thoroughly Understand how difficult it is to get just that perfect thing for a beloved fiber artist and have to WAIT to give it to them. So of course, I've peeked ahead, and this is going to be a well-loved daily calendar.
You read me right:
Daily.
Calendar.
I don't expect it to have hardcover book quality, or even necessarily keepability, the publisher has placed it righteously in that page-a-day calendar production quality. There will be pages ripped out and smacked on this board in the studio here, over the desk(s) at home and at work, and magnet-pasted to the fridge, for a while, and juicy lovely tidbits will be preserved. Which days' delights will my beloved knitteuse choose? I'm not telling you my guesses!
Which days will be your favorites?

I bought this for my desk at work, and even though I like the content, I think the quality is lacking a bit. If I had seen it ahead of time, I probably would not have bought it.

Never Not Knitting! 2009 CalendarI know its not 2009 yet and YES this is a 2009 calendar but IT IS Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. I have flipped through it and read many of the entries. Very cool stuff and classic Pearl-McPhee. If you are looking for a great Christmas present for the knitter in your life, this is the thing to buy . . . even when 2009 is over, s/he will keep it!

Pearls Before Swine: 2009 Day-to-Day Calendar by: Stephan Pastis publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing released: 2008-07-01 ISBN: 0740774875 $10.39

Rat, Pig, Zebra, Goat, Duck, and the Fraternity of Crocs have catapulted to fame, along with their creator Stephan Pastis. Pearls Before Swine was named Best Newspaper Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society in 2004 and 2007.

So much has been going on. There's the Viking scandal (something about Sven, Pig's friend, in an airport restroom stall), the first Whimsical Tuesday, when bad things just happen, and Dr. Rat's Brain Augmentation Surgery that makes you smarterer than everer. Straight from the "gigantohead" of creator Stephan Pastis (Rat said it), comes the tactless and darkly ridiculous humor that legions of Pearls fans can't get enough of. And to top it off, the Sunday strips are now in color. That's huge!

Pearls Before Swine is a hilarious comic strip and everything connected with it i.e. books, calendars, etc. is great. If you have a wry sense of humor, you will love it.
