Seven Years of Highly Defective People Scott Adams' Guided Tour of the Evolution of Dilbert - Dilbert, Bk 10 Author:Scott Adams Since its debut in 1989, Dilbert has become *the* comic strip sensation, attracting fans from all corridors of working life. As Dilbert's popularity has grown, so has curiosity about the man behind the drawing table. Seven Years of Highly Defective People is a book by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams which expl... more »ains the origins and evolution of many of the Dilbert characters, and Adams includes comments and notes under each comic strip reprinted in the book--notes that answer provocative questions such as: Which characters became unexpected "regulars"?, What objects are the most challenging to draw?, and Which strips became the biggest hits?
In his introduction, Adams says, "Some of the notes are fascinating insights into the world of cartooning. Other notes are interesting only for their poor grammar and spelling, thus proving that you can be a moron and still have a successful career as a cartoonist." Each chapter chronicles a different character using selected cartoons (from previous books) to illustrate each one's development. Scott Adams tells where the characters came from, why they do the things they do, and just what the heck he was thinking during the creative process. (Our theory is he was just tired.) You'd have to be an "ln-duh-vidual" to miss out on this special collection. The book went to number three on The New York Times Business Best Sellers List for paperbacks. This unique treasury is a tour of the origins and evolution of Dilbert's cast, and your tour guide is Dilbert's creator.
