What Would Wally Do? - A Dilbert Book
Scott Adams
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC
Summary
What would the world of work be like without Dilbert? Downright insufferable! Especially without the weird wisdom of apathetic coworker Wally. When it became syndicated in 1989, Dilbert struck a nerve with workers everywhere. Through its frames they saw life on the job as they knew it, with all the absurdity, craziness, and dry humor that underlies any living, breathing organization. The fact that the strip focused on a hapless engineer and his cynical dog just made it all the more funny. Now work life seems downright unimaginable without Dilbert and Dogbert’s take on everything from management ill-practices to nonperformance reviews. What Would Wally Do? delivers that same combination of pain and humor that readers count on. This collection especially highlights Wally, Dilbert’s colleague, fellow engineer, foil, and fool. Wally’s that short quirky guy with little hair, plenty of horn-rimmed frames, and almost zero work ethic. After all, who’s got time for a job, thinks the self-proclaimed “Lord Wally the Puppet Master,” when you’re busy surviving the “Mobility Pool,” turning your cubicle into a tourist attraction called “Sticky-Note City,” and selecting a mail-order bride from Elbonia? Weasel-Boy makes a point of highlighting his poor performance and lack of respect . . . and usually gets another raise for his efforts. Such is life in Dilbert and Wally’s world. Such are the laughs in What Would Wally Do? “Once every decade, America is gifted with an angst-ridden anti-hero, a Nietzschean nebbish, an us-against-the-universe everyperson around whom our insecurities collect like iron shavings to a magnet. Charlie Chaplin. Dagwood Bumstead. Charlie Brown. Cathy. Now, Dilbert.” —The Miami Herald
