amazing how many of his terrible terrible ideas are things that, realistically, should be proposed by the pointy-haired Dilbert boss while the other characters look on blankly, perhaps with a raised eyebrow or a sip of coffee.
someone please photoshop him into one of his own cartoons, spewing all this nonsense as the other characters look on blankly, perhaps with a raised eyebrow or a sip of coffee.

I saw a dilbert comic recently that was either photoshopped, or he has people just subbing in “x tech will save us” “but but about why” and then the manager saying “implement it”tbf that seems like a good halfassed business model

I know he's a right wing reactionary crank now but I didn't know that was actually making it into the comic strip (which I assumed was 100% user submissions by now)

idk what's sadder, the idea that he thought he could make "woke robot" funny or the fact that he gives up on the premise halfway through an 8-panel comic strip

Oh Scott you fucking dweeb, "did you just assume my gender?" - is that really all you can come up with?

He didn't give up on the premise! In addition to their obsession with gender, the 'woke' are soulless automatons, do u c. Another instance of massive right-wing projection, I do c.

clicked back two months in the archives, he legitimately seems to have no idea how to write a coherent joke any more. looked at some 90s strips to compare, definitely not a case of "it was always bad". even though the strip doesn't hold up too well it still had like...actual punchlines
― frogbs, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 21:40 (two years ago) link
It's just what happens when your entire comic strip m.o. becomes polemical butthurt.

Because his early stuff was taken from situations he encountered in his last cubicle job, and then the mid period stuff is cribbing from situations his fans have emailed him about that they've experienced.

I know it's just yet another variation of the one joke conservatives have, but apparently most newspapers printed Dave as a white character, which accidentally makes this the funniest Dilbert strip in years

whats amazing about this is Scott Adams was called out for not having any minority characters in his comic besides the intern and he responded by insisting that Dilbert had no black characters he was so anti-racist that he could not bear to make fun of a black guy. so he finally introduces a black character after 33 years and this is the first joke he can think of. not only that but he's such a piss poor artist that you can't even tell he's supposed to be black in the print version. just incredible all around
― frogbs, Monday, 2 May 2022 18:47 (two years ago) link
one of his funniest bits is when he responds to criticism by twisting himself into a logic pretzel, just this insecure guy thing where he strongly believes he's always right but just spouts gibberish
― mh, Monday, 2 May 2022 19:07 (two years ago) link
or, I guess, more accurately he doesn't believe he can ever admit to being wrong or mistaken
― mh, Monday, 2 May 2022 19:08 (two years ago) link
I'm not gonna read his 90s books again but I was way into them as a kid and what I remember was that his whole shtick was basically about how to bullshit your way through life. but he at least had some sense of self-awareness, like when writing the Dilbert Future he said the whole point was to make all these outlandish predictions and then get hailed as a genius if one of them actually came true
if nothing else this dude is a good case study in how money & fame can permanently fuck up a person
