Sometimes a bad experience can lead you to see the humour in life. And if you’re smart, and have a gift and are willing to hone it, then you can find a way to sell that humour to others. That’s what cubicle-dweller turned-cartoonist Scott Adams did. Adams’ used his mind-numbing experience in corporate America as the inspiration for his management lampooning cartoon Dilbert. Today his internationally-syndicated cartoon is read by millions and his cubicle is a distant, and at the same time, continuously profitable memory.
