Dilbert - C or D?

what if... Dave's first line had been "Actually, I identify as Dilbert"

why is this guy so fucking tedious

he's a 64 year old rich white american who would wake up at 4am to draw Dilbert before he finally quit his former day job

this was, supposedly, after several years of waking at that hour every day to brainstorm a business venture and he came up with this comic strip

note that this is according to his own retelling of how dilbert came to be, and it sounds like 90% bullshit

Quite honestly one of the most divorced people I’ve ever seen

lmao

every time people seem astonished that this guy became such a MAGA tool I think about this blog he posted in 2007...this shit would make even Trump blush

I was going to make a joke to the effect of "That man's boss? Donald Trump" but there's a 0% chance of that

absolutely loving 'divorced' as a personality trait

hm

Too bad Scott Adams can't identify as a worthwhile human.

I thought the dinosaur characters were funny when I was a kid

When a young male (let's say 14 to 19) is a danger to himself and others, society gives the supporting family two options:

1. Watch people die.
2. Kill your own son.

Those are your only options. I chose #1 and watched my stepson die. I was relieved he took no one else with him.

"It was out of my hands"

new Jordan Peterson just dropped

Perturbert

Option 3, "Provide a gun and transportation"

turns out the guy who made this understood Dilbert better than anyone else

btw for those who don't know Scott Adams' stepson had a head injury at 14, got addicted to painkillers, and later overdosed on fentanyl, which is perhaps a more humane fate than getting murdered by Mr. Dilbert's own bare hands

Odd that that somehow translated in Scott Adams's head into "I killed my stepson."

Well no, he’s saying he watched his stepson kill someone, ie himself

And he also seems to be saying “I should have killed him first” which is concerning for those who have to be around him

it seems to follow that Scott Adams must be killed </parody>

Ah, OK. By "people" I thought he meant people other than the young man in question.

In any event, he seems oddly detached.

I agree it's probably a bad idea for any teens to be around him right now, the good news is the one who did just recently divorced him

Well this thread took a ghoulish turn

Dilbert took a ghoulish turn tbf

I know people were joking for a while that the strip itself would turn fascist and iirc it didn't (because apparently he gets most of his ideas from readers anyway), but I checked some recent strips and, uh:

https://dilbert.com/strip/2022-06-26

last week's story arc appears to be about rigged voting machines. it's a hoot!! (by the way, is it just me or do Dilbert strips not really have identifiable punchlines anymore?)

Painfully unfunny.

I hope they write that on his tombstone.

just as long as it's something painful

is he about to bomb a federal building

I waited two days for my government to justify an FBI raid on a former president's home. I think that was fair-minded of me.

No justification has been offered.

The presumption of innocence (of the government and FBI) can now be removed from the option set.

Phase 2 begins.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) August 11, 2022

What is Phase 2? That's the part where things gets fixed. One way or another. All options are on the table.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) August 11, 2022

Is he about to go William Dudley Pelley on us and start a fascist cult?

lmao at “I waited two days”

wtf. thanks for keeping an eye on him frogs

lol I don't really (he blocked me years ago) but he does seem to be trending every month and it's never because of Dilbert

is this the table he sits at to brainstorm Dilbert ideas

love the idea that presumption of innocence precludes gathering evidence on suspects. they're innocent!

“I submitted my passport renewal two days ago. I’ve waited patiently for the government to respond. Nothing. IT’S REVOLUTION TIME”

dying @ "I think that was fair-minded of me"

I can tell that he's really thought this plan through... phase I: wait 2 days, phase II: everything gets fixed one way or another.

sometimes I do wonder if he's doing a bit and it's got out of control. but no.

Today so many of my critics told me I was irrelevant and powerless that “Dilbert” started trending on Twitter.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) August 11, 2022

Where were you the day that Phase 2 began?

Tell it to the judge, Scott.

Posting this for rare occasion of Scott Adams complaining about something related to his day job for my fellow hater frogsbs

#Dilbert was cancelled in 77 newspapers this week.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) September 20, 2022

yall aren't gonna believe this but it has nothing to do with Dilbert or Scott Adams, just a new owner for one of the newspaper conglomerates. dare I say the man is just trying to draw attention to himself

he's so close to the correct angle about corporations do the minimum to pay lip service in diversity and inclusion efforts, but then predictably drives right off the rails

But but he’s being censored for his edgy views!

(Apparently he has been making the same exact joke about this crap for about a month now)

Much longer than a month!

it's so frustrating, like, yes, queer people are being tokenized by huge corporations to cover up for the corporations' monstrous actions! oh no scott adams is blowing the lid off the Secret Gay Agenda no wait we've been yelling this at the top of our lungs for ages

the same way, like, i mean like maybe an artist losing a huge chunk of their income due to a corporate merger is not a good thing? maybe this is a bad thing that people have a shared interest in opposing? but no it's all to do with some sort of, i don't know, sinister queer conspiracy to silence him

scott my man the Queer Agenda doesn't really give a shit about you, you crossed over into Percy Crosby territory long ago. you _aren't a threat_. you're not causing us to suffer, you're not causing us to die.

you want my advice? get the Dilbert logo stolen for a peanut butter brand. that's the only way anybody will remember you.

the instantly recognisable logo from famed graphic stylist Scott Adams

look come on this is what the benchmark standard is

i grant that it's superior to scott adams but we're still not talking about another will eisner here folks
