8 Great Engineering Comics

April 8, 2016 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t love engineering comics? Let’s face it—no matter how much you love your job and how great your co-workers and managers are, we all experience frustrations and adversity at work. And nobody epitomizes the plight of engineers quite like Dilbert, Alice and Wally.

Over the years, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite Dilbert engineering comics, and from those, here are eight of the best ones relating to engineers and the difficulties that we face daily, in both our work and our personal lives.

I hope you enjoy them! If you have a favorite Dilbert comic, especially one that relates to engineers, please share it in the comments.


We love playing “the telephone game” with sales and customers.
