The very sad news is breaking this morning that Scott Adams, the brilliant cartoonist who drew the comic strip Dilbert for several decades, as passed away at age 68 following a battle with cancer.
I very much admired Adams. His intellect was formidable: maybe too much for some people to comprehend, given how the past few years went. But I think most of us readily understood where he was coming from. He was absolutely one of the most - if not THE most - brilliant thinkers to be a part of modern pop culture.
Several of his Dilbert books are in my personal library. Indeed, for a long time his strip was one of the very first things I opened the newspaper to. So many of Adams's cartoons that I could say that I love. But this one in particular is near and dear to my heart. From May 12, 2013. Click to enlarge:
Until we meet someday, Mr. Adams. Thank you for sharing your mind and your talents with us.
