    I think this is the only comic Scott Adams should be remembered by. It summarizes him perfectly as a person.

    Nazi piece of shit

    Say hi to Kissinger! Oh, who am I kidding, we all know that was the first thing you did.

    Wow, the only thing worse than dying of prostate cancer is begging someone who doesn’t give a shit about you for help while dying of prostate cancer.

      It’s always hard to separate the author and the artwork. Dilbert was great, Scott Adams not so much

    He went from writing the quintessential office comedy comic, up there with fucking Office Space in status…

    to being a Nazi piece of shit who advocated for racial segregation, and spent his remaining years sucking Trump’s asshole and swearing far-right psuedo-medicine would cure his cancer. And then he died of cancer.

    Rot in Piss. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

      I had a small stack of his books of Dilbert from when my siblings and I were younger, it was a silly and entertaining strip.

      I couldn’t give those things away a few years back, not even used bookstores wanted them. I put them outside on a table with a sign “free” for days and eventually had to throw them away.

      The man really cemented his legacy.

      Is Jim Davis cool? I can’t really find anything, so that proves he isn’t MAGA at least.

    i saw him first on a interview he claimed trump was going to win the election, this was 2015, even before the primaries, i thought it was a little odd how convinced he was, i hoped his prediction was wrong

    RIP. Regardless of his political views, he was a man and he created things. My condolences to his family.

      It wasn’t just “political views” - his stances weren’t merely ones of policy, and he repeatedly made statements that made clear he thought that anyone who wasn’t a white male was a lesser human. He spread racism and misogyny with nearly every breath. He deserves no rest and no peace.

      Nah he was a piece of shit, bye. I hope his family reads this, too. It’s good to know what people think of you. Maybe they’ll make better choices.

      Enough of this soft hand bullshit, fascist racists deserve to die.

      I kind of liked it for a bit. But a lot of it has to do with that the stories were actually submitted by real people, working on said field. I doubt that he has a funny bone in his whole body.
