Scott Adams (Dilbert) died

[Quiet Em]

He could have been remembered as a cartoonist. Instead he will be remembered as a racist, misogynistic twitter troll who threw away his cartoon career for the con artist.

1. He was a tRUMPer

That's all I gotta say. I'll be nice about it I guess.

p.s.- I'll bet he told racist jokes at the watercooler.

[The Grand Illuminist]

2. At least it is something to rejoice.

We need more good news like this. Though he should've been offed years ago.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. You sincerely think murdering people you disagree with is good?

I tend to think that murder is bad, even the murder of someone whose political opinions I strongly disagree with.

[JI7]

15. He wasn't murdered.

[R0ckyRac00n]

16. Poindexter, where are you getting the murder from?

[Abolishinist]

18. Here's my take.

They did not say he was murdered, they responded to a post which said "he should've been offed years ago", which by most definitions means he should have been killed/murdered years ago.

North American English
kill; murder.
"I finally snapped and offed the guy"

[Aristus]

3. He did say something nice about fellow cancer-sufferer, Joe Biden.

I guess Adams was starting to feel the scorching heat of his final destination, and tried to atone.

4. Safe in the arms of the blond blue-eyed Jesus and away from the dark-skinned folks

19. "You Cannot Petition The Lord With Prayer!" - J. Morrison

Good luck with that!

25. "God is dead." - F. Nietzsche

No luck required!

5. Well, bye

Forgotten in five minutes.

6. Semi-talented troll. The final straw was begging tRump to move him ahead of others to get the best treatment available

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Trump & Co. adopted Adams' Philosophy

that Truth doesn’t matter and is subjective.

[Johonny]

8. He was a sad lonely troll

Twice divorced, no kids. He spent his time moaning about the poor oppression of the ultra rich white male. Oh, well.

[Moostache]

9. No great loss.

He passes into oblivion now, for me unmourned, unremembered, and never respected.

10. and begged Trump for experimental treatment intervention (which he got) oblivious to the

plight of countless others suffering from advanced prostate cancer. While I would not suggest he not get the treatment had he been a valid candidate ( his was clearly too advanced and that is why he didn't qualify to begin with, but ultimately wasted a spot when Trump intervened), he lived his life believing himself entitled and even more so in his last days.

I don't wish cancer on anyone, including Mr. Adams. But, that will not prevent me from remembering the worst about him, which others have amply defined.

[Takket]

12. If I can quote McGruber...

Dead at the age of who the fuck cares.

[ColoringFool]

13. I Loved "Dilbert"! Laughed My Arse Off! Have Ratbert And Dogbert...

Plush toys. Owned every book.

Still have the two plushies, but threw away all the books when I learned of Adams' smart-alec comments about non-Trump voters.

One less Trumpster will always be pleasing to mine eye. "Can you be so cruel?" "Yes, I can be very cruel. I have been taught by masters." ["The Heiress" movie]

[BaronChocula]

21. Maybe Adams is banging on the Pearly Gates

with no answer, like Monty Clift's character.

[NHvet]

14. Once he showed his true colors, he was lost to me.

[Quiet Em]

24. Years ago I read the newspaper daily

After reading the national, local news and the opinion columns I always finished with the comics. I don't know if Dilbert was my favorite, but I did read it and enjoy it.

It was wild seeing someone so well known through the years come out so publically and unapologetically as a racist.

I had a couple exchanges with him on twitter. He doubled down as an ahole.

[MaineBlueBear]

17. I refuse to celebrate his passing

I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone regardless of political ideology. I'm glad his suffering has come to pass and I hope his friends and family find comfort and peace.

[blueknight73]

20. One

less racist and homophobe in this world is NEVER a bad thing

[misanthrope]

22. Adams occupied no spot on my emotional or intellectual radar screen

I knew he produced a cartoon that mystified me with its success. When I read it, Dilbert was splendidly mediocre at its best. I lost interest quickly.

I previously heard he became a vocal right winger. I never bothered to keep up with his views or thoughts as they didn't matter to me due to his lack of influence.

I guess he has some family or friends who might be grieving his passing. I feel sorry for their loss, but that seems like a standard social grace.

Moving on.

[bigtree]

31. he described people who are Black as members of "a racist hate group" during an online video show.

...refused to recant and said it was 'intentional.'

I intentionally ignored him and his strip thererafter.

[gulliver]

23. Not a Dilbert fan; Not an Adams canceler

Did he step on a rake? Yep. Don't care. You have to take the totality of the person into account. It's part of growing up, imo. I think of most Trump voters as future Dem voters, frankly. If they come to regret voting for him (as some have and will), I don't see telling them, "But hey, you can't vote for us. We canceled you!"

[JoseBalow]

26. One less Repug voter

Adios, Fucko!

[marble falls]

27. The only thing I got to say is, I will miss Dilbert: his name ryhmes with mine, he worked in an office like mine, ...

... whose boss was exactly like mine. Fuck you Mike Burns from DVI.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. Scott Adams: "The best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people...

Adams was a racist asshole

29. fuck that guy

30. reminds me

...I need to clean out the mucky grime from my shower drain.
