It’s such a great shame that he died
after ruining his legacy
I feel weird about this. Like it’s his second death or something.
He used to be someone who was just giving welcome comic relief to office workers, and came off as reflected and humble.
Then he got a stroke and …opinions. How related they were I don’t know, and how latent his cruel opinions were I honestly don’t know.
Whether he always was utterly evil but it just didn’t surface, or he just broke someway, it felt like a person died back then. I still miss who I thought he was.
And now he is dead again.
I feel the same way, but had no idea he’d had a stroke around the time of the big change. If true that makes it a bit easier to separate the man from his art for me.
Didn’t something similar happen with the US politician John Fetterman? I recall he was a darling of the Democratic party, then post-stroke turned radically ‘right’.

Rest in piss, racist trash
I used to like Dilbert
Damn, this is the first time I’m hearing about this guy being a piece of shit. Would love to hear people chime in with the shit he’s pulled for others like me to see.
Here’s a scratch off the top:
He previously questioned the death toll of the Holocaust, said he had lost multiple jobs for being white and falsely claimed that people who didn’t get vaccinated against COVID-19 “clearly are the winners” of the pandemic (he acknowledged getting vaccinated in Monday’s video). Dozens of newspapers dropped the strip in 2022 after Adams introduced its first Black character and veered into anti-woke plotlines.
