The Pointy-Haired Boss (often abbreviated to just '''PHB''') is Dilbert 's boss in the '' Dilbert '' comic strip. He is notable for his gross incompetence and unawareness of his surroundings, yet somehow retains power in the workplace. In the ''Dilbert'' TV series, in which he was voiced by comedian Larry Miller , the character was notably smarter (although still quite stupid) and more actively evil. The phrase "pointy-haired boss" has acquired a generic usage to refer to incompetent managers. It is also possible to speak of someone being pointy-haired or having '''pointy hair''' metaphorically, meaning that they possess PHB-like traits. A company which has too many PHBs getting promoted to higher-levels is often called a PHC, or pointy-haired company. The Academic version, a Pointy-Haired Dean (PHD), is similar. In certain discussions, particularly on the Internet, the term Horn Hair is used to refer to a PHB. IN ''DILBERT''
