									Scott AdamsScott Adams
Before his comic creation Dilbert rose to fame as the champion of disgruntled office drones everywhere, Scott Adams was a lowly cube-dweller himself, toiling away at a string of thankless, low-paying corporate jobs. With the success of a franchise that includes dozens of books, as well as calendars, video games, and associated Dilbert-themed merchandise, it’s safe to say Adams won’t have to go back to the office grind anytime soon.

Workplace Warrior

From the dot-com boom to the unemployment bust, Adams has had to learn to tune his workplace humor into the times. In an interview with ABC News.com, he explained that the worse things get for the white-collar types, the better for his business: "with people changing jobs more frequently, and the world growing more complicated, you have dumber and dumber people doing harder and harder things -- so for me, thank God, the workplace is still miserable."
