Congrats to those who are still alive and not a racist piece of shit.
haha, the Nazi’s fucking balls got INFECTED and he DIED!
Dilbert was overrated as fuck
I kind of liked it for a bit. But a lot of it has to do with that the stories were actually submitted by real people, working on said field. I doubt that he has a funny bone in his whole body.
Oh no!
Anyway…
I’ll much rather remember Scott Adams, the guy who described a Pointy-Haired Boss (for the youngsters who never read Dilbert, think of Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover days), not Scott Adams, the guy who recently desperately tried to rehabilitate the Pointy-Haired Boss character to be more reasonable. (Because that has never actually happened in the actual industry. Dilbert was meant to be a satire of what actually happens in the industry. Pointy-Haired Bosses are eternal.)
Also I never forget the experience of reading The Dilbert Principle (1996) for the first time. “Oh yeah! Most of this stuff is pretty good! Except this one about female coworkers, yeaaahhh, this is a little bit suspect.” (Again, for the youngsters, we didn’t have “sus” back in the day.) Foreshadowing is a literary device wh-
1 Nazi down, 77 million to go.
I think this is the only comic Scott Adams should be remembered by. It summarizes him perfectly as a person.
Say hi to Kissinger! Oh, who am I kidding, we all know that was the first thing you did.
Pretty hard to live past that age when your mind goes full QAnon and you begin thinking taking anti-parasite treatment for horses is going to help overcome cancer.
I have a theory that when people get as known and rich as him, they get surrounded by a lot of charismatic people who in absence of any other notable characteristic have to promote conspiracy non-sense as their “our my exclusive network of people know this”. Because they are not accustomed to meeting people that charismatic and because what they spout generally appeals to their life experience, they just fall in love as part of these groups of crazy as if it was part of their lifestyle change.
He’s had weird problems since the 90s… focal dystonia, spasmodic dysphonia, that kind of thing. I’m suspecting that those things were symptoms of more subtle neurological problems. It sounds like he’s always been a jackass, but brain damage does often correlate with swings towards conspiracy and “reactionary conservative” leanings.
Lol his website has nothing in his demise. That says something.
Also:
Why was Dilbert cancelled?
If you believe the news, it was because I am a big ol’ racist.
Context: No news about public figures is ever true and in context. Never.
If you look into the context, the point that got me cancelled is that CRT, DEI and ESG all have in common the framing that White Americans are historically the oppressors and Black Americans have been oppressed, and it continues to this day. I recommended staying away from any group of Americans that identifies your group as the bad guys, because that puts a target on your back.
That is a very rational and detailed explanation of never stepping outside your experience for two seconds. That’s kinda rare to see, usually one defeats the other.
Ive got just one question for you Scott.
what came first
Ranch, or Cool Ranch?
He went from writing the quintessential office comedy comic, up there with fucking Office Space in status…
to being a Nazi piece of shit who advocated for racial segregation, and spent his remaining years sucking Trump’s asshole and swearing far-right psuedo-medicine would cure his cancer. And then he died of cancer.
Rot in Piss. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
I had a small stack of his books of Dilbert from when my siblings and I were younger, it was a silly and entertaining strip.
I couldn’t give those things away a few years back, not even used bookstores wanted them. I put them outside on a table with a sign “free” for days and eventually had to throw them away.
The man really cemented his legacy.
Unfortunately, he wasted a bunch of time taking ivermectin and pursuing alternative treatments.
My best to those who miss him.
I’ve read mixed accounts of that.
Yes, he did try that stuff, but I’ve read some claims that he did it alongside the treatments the doctors gave him.
Like it was kind of pointless, but also kind of harmless because he didn’t let it get in the way of real medicine.
At least when it came to cancer, I don’t think anyone cited him being a denier about more effective treatments, just he was in the “I’ll try anything” mode of having a terminal illness.
Of course he had a lot of other problematic things as a die hard maga, including antivax and whining how white men have it so bad and saying Trump and friends lying was actually good because the lies were “directionally true”, but maybe just not overly bad stuff about the cancer.
The cancer prodded him to actually break with trump on the specific matter of being mean to Biden over the same cancer Adams had.
That’s by far the finest Dilbert comic ever, so of course it’s not from Scott Adams.
Clay Bennett makes good toons. Even the art itself is decent.
I never liked how political the dilberts comics got
Mallard Fillmore was even worse. It was like a republican version of a Jack Chick comic.
Given where the Republicans are at this point… Explain.
There was no attempt at humor or even cleverness, it was just “They are stupid and corrupt and we are right” in the comics page. It was editorials pretending to be a comic strip. This was way back in the 1990s. It pretty much existed because of Doonesbury.
They were about how much more capable the working class was than the ruling class.
It was always political.
oh no. So anyway
