    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.

    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

    Wow. I was sad for about three seconds. I never cared for this cartoon but I thought the concept was pretty good and the team stayed on-model.

    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.

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

    Unfortunately, he wasted a bunch of time taking ivermectin and pursuing alternative treatments.

    My best to those who miss him.

      I’ve read mixed accounts of that.

      Yes, he did try that stuff, but I’ve read some claims that he did it alongside the treatments the doctors gave him.

      Like it was kind of pointless, but also kind of harmless because he didn’t let it get in the way of real medicine.

      At least when it came to cancer, I don’t think anyone cited him being a denier about more effective treatments, just he was in the “I’ll try anything” mode of having a terminal illness.

      Of course he had a lot of other problematic things as a die hard maga, including antivax and whining how white men have it so bad and saying Trump and friends lying was actually good because the lies were “directionally true”, but maybe just not overly bad stuff about the cancer.

      The cancer prodded him to actually break with trump on the specific matter of being mean to Biden over the same cancer Adams had.
