What Do You Call A Sociopath In A Cubicle? Answer: A Coworker (A Dilbert Treasury)

(17 customer reviews)

"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
The former occupant of cubicle 4S700R at Pacific Bell seems to have made a go of this cartoon strip thing. What began as a doodling diversion that Scott Adams shared with his officemates has exploded into one of the most read cartoon strips worldwide.
This Dilbert treasury, What Do You Call a Sociopath in a Cubicle? Answer: A Coworker, brings together all of the office psychos who have annoyed Dilbert and entertained millions. This compilation pays homage to some of the most annoying and outrageous characters Adams' has ever drawn-characters he likes to call office "sociopaths."
* Edfred the two-faced man
* Anne L. Retentive
* Nervous Ted
* Loud Howard
* Alice and her fist of death
This full-color treasury reinforces everything that makes the strip great by lampooning the people and processes of business. Adams homes in on all the quirky coworkers that drive us crazy in the corporate world. He has fun at the expense of office oafs found in workplaces everywhere--creatures like the Office Sociopath, who listens to voice mail on his speaker phone, and the Exactly Man, who punctuates everything with a finger point, exclaiming "Exactly!" The result is a book that leaves readers knowingly rolling their eyes and, of course, laughing uproariously.

Recycled material Sep 30, 2002
By C. Donica
Although I'm one of the biggest Dilbert fans, I'd have to give a warning about buying this book.

If you already own a number of Dilbert albums, then you're not getting anything new in this collection, and you'd be wise to save your money.

If you are new to owning Dilbery albums, then this is a pretty good collection of cartoons showing how coworkers can be real sociopaths.

However, the editors didn't spend much time checking this book over because I've actually found duplicate cartoons on different pages as well as a couple of strips in the incorrect logical order.

This recycling is getting tiresome Jan 21, 2004
By J. Carroll "Jack"
Let's start this off by saying that I have always been a fan of Dilbert and it is one of the few comic strips I'll buy in collected form. That being said, the constant recycling of of material has hit a new low with this collection. Once again using previously collected material from 1989-2001, this collection does not even give the reader accompanying text from Adams, just a short intro that adds nothing to the reader's enjoyment. Are the "cubical sociopaths" separated from one another by anything other than chronological order? No! If you are a Dilbert fan and own the other collections, save your money. It's almost like this one was designed by the marketing department and put together at the last minute by Wally.

I'd give it fewer stars if I could. Mar 20, 2003
By Eric A. Lahti
I felt like I'd been mugged by Scott Adams after purchasing this book. It's just more of the recycled pap he's been peddling for years now. Save your money and buy the older books.

Deja vu May 12, 2003

I wish that I had read the reviews here before buying this book. I was extremely disappointed while I was reading it to come to the realization that there was not one cartoon in this book that wasn't published in one or more of the already existing Dilbert anthologies. Shame on you Mr. Adams.

Tired strips... Mar 05, 2003
By Brian Battuello
Scott Adams is doing everything he can to alienate his fan base. At least some of the previous "treasuries" had a theme, Sunday strips, business topics, etc. This one has no reason at all except to trick people for paying a third time for the same old tired strips.
