Dogbert

Dogbert is a fictional canine character created by Scott Adams, appearing in the comic strip Dilbert. He is the anthropomorphic dog of Dilbert, the strip's protagonist. Dogbert is characterized by his high intelligence, cynical worldview, and often manipulative nature. He typically holds a position of authority in the strip's narrative, often as a consultant, CEO, or even president, despite his species. His schemes frequently involve exploiting human gullibility for personal gain or amusement.

Dogbert's personality is a key element of Dilbert's humor, providing a sharp contrast to the often-beleaguered human characters. He frequently dispenses unsolicited advice, which is usually pragmatic and self-serving, delivered with a dry wit. Despite his cynicism, Dogbert occasionally displays a rudimentary sense of loyalty towards Dilbert, though this is often overshadowed by his own ambitions. His distinctive appearance, with his large ears and perpetually unimpressed expression, has made him an iconic figure in popular culture. Dogbert's segments often serve as a commentary on corporate culture, technology, and human behavior, filtered through his unique, canine perspective.
