Dilbert - C or D?

The kind of time machine that can only transport you to Opposite Day.

Just...so goddamn deeply fucking stupid. Jesus wept.

on opposite day, satan laughed

I think he's maybe confusing them with that other famous group Profa.

I checked Wikipedia:

Occasionally, the KPD cooperated with the Nazis in attacking the SPD and both sought to destroy the liberal democracy of the Weimar Republic.[18][19] While also opposed to the Nazis, the KPD regarded the Nazi Party as a less sophisticated and thus less dangerous fascist party than the SPD. In December 1931, KPD leader Ernst Thälmann declared that "some Nazi trees must not be allowed to overshadow a forest" of the SPD.[20][21] In 1931, under the leadership of Ernst Thälmann, the KPD internally used the slogan "After Hitler, our turn!", strongly believing that a united front against Nazis was not needed and that a Nazi dictatorship would ultimately crumble due to flawed economic policies and lead the KPD to power in Germany when the people realised that their economic policies were superior.[22][23]

centrist libs just can't catch a break!!

also on wikipedia, Griffy owns this dipshit:

In 1998, Bill Griffith, creator of Zippy the Pinhead, chided Dilbert for crude drawings and simplistic humor. He wrote, "Long since psychically kidnapped by the gaudy, mindlessly hyperactive world of television, (readers) no longer demand or expect comic strips to be compelling, challenging, or even interesting. Enter Cathy. And Dilbert. Sure, comics are still funny. It's just that the humor has almost no "nutritional" value. In the tiny space allotted to them, daily strips have all too successfully adapted to their new environment. In this Darwinian set-up, what thrives are simply drawn panels, minimal dialogue, and a lot of head-and-shoulder shots. Anything more complicated is deemed "too hard to read". A full, rich drawing style is a drawback. Simplicity, even crudity, rules."

Adams responded by creating two comic strips called Pippy the Ziphead, in which Dogbert creates a comic by "cramming as much artwork in as possible so no one will notice there's only one joke ... [and it's] on the reader." Dilbert says that the strip is "nothing but a clown with a small head who says random things", and Dogbert responds that he is "maintaining his artistic integrity by creating a comic that no one will enjoy". In September of the same year, Griffith mocked Adams' Pippy the Ziphead with a strip of the same name drawn in a simplistic, stiff, Dilbert-like style set in an office setting and featuring the characters Zippy and Griffy retorting, "I sense a joke was delivered. [...] Yes. It was. My one joke. Ha."

going to keep reposting this on occasion because it never stops being funny

Adams sent in a sketch of Dilbert and Dildog, but realized he had to make "Dildog" more newspaper friendly (any printing error that dropped the G would wreak havoc) so he changed it to Dogbert.

ah yes... a printing error is the only thing that could make Dildog a bad name

fwiw I think he should have stuck to his guns and called the character Dildog

the fact that he doesn't think the general public would get the joke behind "Dildog" is kinda Scott Adams in a nutshell, really

looooooooooooool

The new issue of TCJ features a "meditation" on Adams: https://www.fantagraphics.com/products/the-comics-journal-306?_pos=1&_psq=comics%20journal&_ss=e&_v=1.0

sorry, I'll fix that url for any siclers out there: https://www.fantagraphics.com/products/the-comics-journal-306

"he left me on that table"

has he not spent literally years whining about the "very fine people" hoax, surely he could've WELL ACTUALLY'd his way outta this one

or is it like in 2016 where the writing was on the wall and he doesn't wanna be seen backing a loser

(if you don't remember there was a point in 2016 when a dozen women came out to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct and Adams wrote a sad and very sexist post about how not only was Hillary gonna win but we'd never have a male president again)

"He lost my vote. Can he get it back? Yeah."

Hmm wonder if he'll manage to find a way for trump to get it back in the next 4 weeks...

what a weirdo

wait doesn't he brag all the time about how he doesn't vote

or has he fallen prey to the satanic mind control powers of 666IDENTITY??

reminded of the time I went on this egg’s new wife’s Instagram and there wasn’t a single picture of him on there

Yeah, set a 2 week timer for this guy to be shouting his triumphantly re-affirmed faith in Trump from the rooftops

more like three hours

Today I learned that agreeing with Democrats and saying I won’t vote for Trump makes them hate me extra and threaten me. So I’ll be voting for Trump.

the mind of a small child

ahhahahaah "i wish you LIBERALS hadn't MADE me vote for Trump but I simply had no choice!"

man this guy can't catch a break

now he says that Trump is polling badly bcz Trumpsters are collectively playing "the most epic practical joke" by pretending not to be voting for him, so that they will prove the polls wrong

has this guy been murdered yet or does that happen in january

#cope

To avoid getting bogged down on the main US politics thread about yesterday's news, just wanted to share my overly generous take on "weaponized autism". I think the idea is that Trump has an army of rain men who are going to sweep into contested cities and use their super counting skills to refute the reported ballot data.

No, it's a chan thing.

Thanks, I wish I never read that

Sorry dude ;_;

Not your fault, just that it was predictably far shitier than my imagination allowed.

Sad that Kim Thompson is no longer around to debate this with Groth

Woodland camouflage is not very effective in downtown DC, btw. You'd blend in better in a giant pigeon costume.

the guy is a narcissist prick, but that was clearly a joke.

eh...

it's about as funny as the average dilbert was

honestly it's a better joke than any of the last 7,000 Dilbert strips

66% narcissism meaning he needs to say something, anything, to have people watch his livevlogs; 24% grift, hoping to convert his viewers to buy his books or subscribe to his "microlessons" app; 10% more narcissism making him think this is a functional joke.

oh he’s a take buffet pic.twitter.com/nxGLxPINUi

never trust anyone who blinks as much as dilbert dude

I actually read a few Dilberts today because I saw this strip on Twitter and wasn't sure if it was real:

https://dilbert.com/strip/2021-02-10

reading the last month or so worth the strip kind of resembles those auto-generated Garfields - it's just a bunch of words with no identifiable punchline. in January alone he seemed to recycle the exact same 'joke' several times, a joke that, if you didn't know who wrote it, you'd think was a criticism of Trumpism. its weird because I remember him being funny and when I jump back to 1997 you can see actual cleverness and wit. and its not like he's simply gotten less funny over the years, it's more like he can't even identify what a joke is anymore.

Reminds me of one of my old weird internet faves, Nutz: https://web.archive.org/web/20050403182604/http://home.earthlink.net/~wrmbero/

i see the commenters on his cartoons are brain-damaged shit-sacks one and all

I mean he's spent the last 5 years cultivating that exact audience so yeah

ha, the comments don't even display for me

Please stop asking me to form an opinion around your hallucination that someone "incited an insurrection." That only happened in your imagination and was created by the Fake News Industry. I don't form policy opinions around the hallucinations of strangers.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) February 10, 2021

whoa there are over 100 comments on every dilbert strip

the idea that Adams views Trump as just a figment of his own diseased mind actually makes everything he's written the last few years make much more sense
