As someone who remembers Dilbert as one of the biggest players on the comics page of 1990s newspapers and loved the strips (even though as a kid I didn’t really appreciate a lot of the office humor), this hits hard on so many levels. Scott Adams, you could have stayed a great, but now your legacy is that of a MAGA loser with an AI obituary.

    By the time I was old enough to really appreciate Dilbert, Scott Adam’s was far enough removed from the American office that it was no longer funny.

    We all know where Dilbert is going to.

    He was visited by Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light, the ruler of Heck.

    …So that’s where Trump and Vance will eventually be going, according to the official government story. Interesting.

    It’s creepy how Vance’s eyes are looking at me, and it’s creepy how Trump looks like he anticipates going to the malt shoppe later.

    For anyone who doesn’t know, the “Dilbert” character has no mouth, yet in the AI version he sports a bright smile.

      I thought it was due to his short stature in the comic and here he’s taller than both the shorties he’s characterized with.

      Whenever the character came back from the future, his future incarnation had a mouth. And he was drawn with one occasionally before it, uh, stopped being cool to read the strip.

      Hate to say it, but I think Adams would have been OK with this. Not with being hated and dead, obviously, but you know.

      “Oh no somebody think of the artist!”

      “Oh wait but fuck that one artist in particular”

    I hope he died hopeful. I hope that he thought, even up to the last minute, that the shitheel he sold his soul to would come through. I want his last moments in this life to have been a vain belief that he was going to be saved. Nothing soothes my black heart more than knowing some worthless cunt died wrong.

      “Look, it’s not like we get a special cop bonus, if everyone survives in there, just do whatever.”

      A certain school shooting comes to mind…
