 What can we say about Wally? Aug 04, 2006
By J. Ngai
Another compilation; this time it is Wally. If you have all the previous books, then this edition is redundant. But if you want just Wally, this is the book.

The History of Wally Oct 20, 2006
By Joshua Koppel
In the introduction Scott Adams talks about his time at Pacific Bell and the management decisions that resulted in the real-life Wally, an employee that worked hard to be in the bottom 10% so that he could be laid off with a substantial severance package. From there we move to the strips which cover most of the range of the Dilbert Years right from the early, unpolished days of Wally. Reading the collection we can see hoe the coffee mug carrying character has developed over the years.
Since this is a Wally retrospective there are no real story arcs in this collection. Instead, we get the strips that specifically showcase just how low Wally can sink. There are a small handful that seem like they don't belong to the collection but most give us the unvarnished truth about our favorite comic slacker. If you are a fan of Wally then you will need to read this almost-biography. General fans of the strip will still like the collection as it also showcases how the strip as a whole has changed over all these years. Check it out.

 Wally: The Greatest Hits Album Jun 30, 2006
By Andrew H. Macpherson
This is essentially a large collection of Wally cartoons and the various antics of the character. The foreward by Scott Adams gives the full story of the Pacific Bell individual--known as "Wally Version 1.0"--from being duped by weasals, to the unique position that WV1.0 was put in by management, to his antics upon stumbling across the golden parachute for the lowest 10% of employees. Though some of the comics are shown in other collections, quite a few I have not seen before in my other Dilbert books--particularly a number of older Wallyisms. Overall, a very good addition to anyone's Dilbert collection.

Funny, but starting to recycle old strips too much Aug 03, 2006
By Robert L. Cape
"Plasticman"
Dilbert is an acquired taste of those who deal or have dealt with corporate American over the years. This book, as do all Dilbert books, has real belly laughs for those who have had oblivious bosses and innane, unthoughtout corporate policies shoved down their throats by an unfeeling management. Unfortunately, these books are starting to recycle some panels and old ideas from past years and other Dilbert books. When you flip a page and find the same comic strips in one book after another, you start to feel a bit cheated. If there isn't enoiugh new material, don't count on a poor memory to make the "old" fresh again.Those of us who pay such a price for a compilation of comic strips need more respect from Scott Adams.

 Disappointing - Scott Adams should be mad Jul 06, 2007
By B. Ault
Dilbert is a great comic strip, and it's a fine idea to assemble a bunch of funny strips about Wally. I don't even mind that it's all recycled material.
But it's an insult to the reader to assemble the strips so badly. If there are two strips from the same sequence, why separate them by several pages? I'm taking this one back - it doesn't add anything new and it's edited badly.
