“ ‘Dilbert’ is just a way to make people laugh so they will transfer their money to me,” says Adams, who has become rich beyond hapless Dilbert’s wildest dreams. “I’m in the business of writing funny little things that fill up space in the newspaper and, when I get away with it, writing funny little books that people will buy.”Solomon, who lives half an hour away from Adams in Northern California, says, “Scott Adams, the purported advocate for human values in the face of a corporate juggernaut, is a role model for amoral self-advancement.”In his book--inspired by Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelart’s 1971 anti-Disney tract, “How to Read Donald Duck"--Solomon cites Adams’ dealings with the kind of multibillion-dollar firms, such as Xerox and Intel, that he lampoons in his strips.“What would be wrong with working for a company?” responds Adams. “Isn’t that like criticizing me for breathing air?”

Twenty+ years ago he tried selling the "nutririonally complete" Dilburrito, the most perfect food ever devised. He thought that once you eat it, your body would recognize that it was perfect and from then on you would crave only the Dilburrito.

The product failed to catch on in the market, leading Adams "several years and several million dollars later" to sell off his intellectual property and exit the business. Adams himself noted, "[t]he mineral fortification was hard to disguise, and because of the veggie and legume content, three bites of the Dilberito made you fart so hard your intestines formed a tail."[5] The New York Times noted the burrito "could have been designed only by a food technologist or by someone who eats lunch without much thought to taste."[6]

He had a good thing going too, if you had to think of a career where you made a ton of money for very little work and were kind of a household name but also able to fly under the radar, well he had it. Every time he did something weird there’s a lot of people going “holy shit I had no clue he was like that” but I think they probably just forgot about the previous things because nobody’s talked about Dilbert for decades. Lo and behold he managed to find the perfect linguistic kill shot for his own career.

I lost my TV show for being white when UPN decided it would focus on an African-American audience. That was the third job I lost for being white. The other two in corporate America. (They told me directly.)— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) June 29, 2020
also remember him getting really aggressive about how there were no black characters in Dilbert, which he defended by saying he was so not racist that he could not possibly make fun of a black character. just recently he put a black character in Dilbert who existed only to say "I identify as white". given this was a weekday strip which therefore did not print in color, the character actually *was* white in the newspaper, because Scott Adams is a fucking idiot who is terrible at his job. admittedly it did make the joke work though.

Omg i somehow saw that and thought it was an odd ironic “joke” about some white millenial needing to “identify” as white.

"transmutes the reader's anger at stupid bosses from revolutionary impulse into a perfunctory laugh" - Remember the days when "Why doesn't Dilbert turn to the reader and call for a communist revolution?" was considered a genuine question that people wrote entire books about? pic.twitter.com/s2CQve5Jlu— Werewolf2000ad (@Werewolf2000ad) February 26, 2023
I saw an interesting twitter thread (from a locked account, so I can't link to it) arguing that this interpretation of Dilbert (that it's basically leftist, but doesn't go far enough, stops at blowing off steam at stupid bosses rather than calling for revolution) is wrong and that Dilbert was implicitly about how the staid, weak bureaucracy prevents nietzschean overmen like Adams from achieving their full potential and rightfully dominating the world, rather than being anti-hierarchy, and that this is true of a lot 90s office drone comedy (Fight Club making the fascist subtext explicit)

I've lost three careers to direct racism so far.
