RIP Scott Adams . . .

It's hard to explain the hold that comic strip had on American culture in the late 90s
Sometimes, hating something - Like YOUR JOB AND PEOPLE - can create some wonderful opportunities for you.
Those were great strips.

I walked through my dad's office building in the mid-late 90s, it was a large building in downtown Chicago, and I passed by desk after desk with Dilbert daily calendars. It was memorable because that was one of the things I got my dad for a Christmas one year.
Its amazing how spot on so much of the comic was, even when I hit the office-life workforce in the mid00s.
and that everyone knew with absolute certainty Scott Adams had to work somewhere in their company. The strips were just too close to reality not to.
The daily calendar was one of my Christmas presents for 5+ years running.
Some were so accurate that I knew he was on staff at my company in California. In fact, Dilbert and some of the characters looked like some our staff. God bless him for helping us to laugh at our selves instead of being serious all the time.
Some of you would not have liked his political ideology.
But it was in line with my beliefs.
Scott was brilliant. Loved the way his mind worked.

felt like he had hidden cameras in my office
Sad day. He said whatever he thought, with no BS. You knew where he stood on basically anything. I've enjoyed kinda getting to know the guy behind the strip the last few years as he has been very active online.
As long as there is an Eastonia, I will refer to it as Elbonia
Dilbert, Calvin and hobes and the far side belong the the lie-berry of congress
I honestly thought it was stupid when I was younger because my dad and mom both worked blue collar jobs so all of it went over my head. When I started working in an office environment, it all became hilarious.
That comic strip and "The Far Side" were both genius. Loved em both.
The groom's cake for my 1997 wedding had Dilbert on it.
My personal favorite as I do CAD design for packaging. This is about how it goes. I am always drawing something completely unnecessary.
