It really is such a shame. I genuinely liked his IT/office humor and even had Dilbert & Dogbert plushies decorating my own cubicle. Now they’re at the bottom of a storage crate; I can’t bring myself to either look at them or trash them.
It was an influential and popular comic back in the day when it broke out.
Scott Adams tarnished his legacy when he went off the deep end into conservatism, and it remains to be seen whether the comic will become even more dated than it already is, but it did capture something relevant to a lot of people back then.
For someone who saw many of the problems in office life, he chose to laugh at them and those who suffer with them. He could’ve at least shut his mouth and let us all believe he was laughing with us and not at us.
a sad day not just for comics, but for many IT tech’s as well … he drew a fine picture (pun intended) of our lives with management.
Edit: okay I got it. I did not know anything else than him writing dilbert. But clearly he wasn’t a nice/good guy.
I’m not going to ignore the utter piece of shit he became
