Dilbert - C or D?

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

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.

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.

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!

Why does he wear a BLM t-shirt in his profile pic, is it some kind of trolling?

The Dilbert comic in his Twitter header makes me want to die

xp he probably believes if he doesn't antifa is going to scale the walls of the Dilbert castle and stick his head in one of his 3 microwaves

i was inspired to look at the wiki and even apart from him being the Most Divorced Guy Ever, this section is next-level nonsensical: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams#Politics

Lol

He credits affirmations for many of his achievements, including scoring in the ninety-fourth percentile on a difficult qualification exam for business school

lmao @ that politics section, clearly written by someone who hates him but it's all true

the Great Convergence of incel / MAGA, 2022

“He has also stated that being labeled a "Donald Trump apologist" ended his public speaking career and reduced his income by about 40%, and that his number of friends had decreased by about 75%.”

he arbitrarily pulls percentages out of his ass all the time!

77% of people know that

Why does he wear a BLM t-shirt in his profile pic, is it some kind of trolling?

Bitter Lonely Masturbation

lmao @ that politics section, clearly written by someone who hates him but it's all true

the controversies section is even better

🙃 at an exlx0r's cited article remaining up but most of the images being arbitrarily spanfellered

crazy thing about his manifesto up there is he left her! because she has cancer!

women getting cancer is just one of the pains they inflict on you

All they have to offer is crickets or cancer.

Crickets with Cancer

ah, my next band name, thxbye

my last laugh ever about dilbert. dark but real

the Scott Adams/Ben Garrison beef you didn't know you wanted

Had missed this whole thing!

xp In its editorial, the Plain Dealer made a case for its First Amendment rights.

Lol, no it didn’t (that would be silly)… the editor said they don’t want to platform a racist. It’s a good editorial (and links to an interesting recent one by the same editor: “%&$#?@! that Beetle Bailey for forcing me to write a column about comics”).

those editorials are both great!

LA Times: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-02-25/los-angeles-times-ceases-publication-of-dilbert

Chicago Tribune and Washington Post, too.

I'm a little shocked that it was still being carried in any of these papers tbh

How will we live without its wit and wisdom?

Dilbert Comic for February 23: https://t.co/o7nL9Tj07M

“ ‘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?”
