Dilbert - C or D?

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.

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.

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skippy_(peanut_butter)#/media/File:Logo_Skippy.svg

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

Gizmodo recognizes tediously unfunny Adams.

“It should start to become known that Dilbert thinks it’s ridiculous and then people who also think it’s ridiculous will start retweeting it,” he said. “And then the boss who’s in charge of it will start to get these sent to him by email or printed out and slipped under the office door. Mockery is very powerful and mockery, in theory, could dismantle this.”

mr. adams, i think all of us have, over the past several years, had the opportunity to learn that trying to shame people into changing their behavior just isn't effective.

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

Prior to marriage, people are in enticement mode. That works out well. After marriage, women automatically change their relationship strategy to pain infliction. This is a rational change because enticement has low value and men think the pain is temporary.

lmao

I will add that women not born in America typically do offer something in marriage.

He's handling it well, I see.

uhh what

Porn gets better every year. VR is going mainstream soon. But women add less value to men every year. It’s our biggest extinction risk unless we find a way to hack the system.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) November 6, 2022

dude married an instagram model

pretty comfortable with “extinction risk” for people who view relationships that way

Wait is "sex with a real woman is much better than jerking off" the beta cuck position now, it's hard to keep track

I mean, he probably married someone he found by creeping on instagram so he thinks the latter is a precursor to the former

looking for a new ex-wife by watching vr porn

Men have been pushed too far. For relationships, they are now asking “What do you have to offer?” The answer is usually crickets.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) November 6, 2022

taken literally this is maybe the funniest thing he's ever said

I am interested in your ideas and would like to subscribe to your publication.

men should become more lizard-like to enjoy the crickets offered by these women

Yet another unrealistic expectation for men!
