Rest in peace Scott Adams

 

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.

Today's DILBERT a must-read for people with bipolar (like me!)

Dear Scott Adams:

Today's edition of your comic strip Dilbert is one of the most encouraging - and one of the funniest - cartoons that I've come across in a long time. As a person with bipolar disorder and on behalf of many others who must deal with having a mental illness, thank you for giving us something to laugh and smile about :-)

I think after reading this, I'm gonna begin referring to most other people as "normals" and myself as... how does "meta-human" sound? :-)

Sincerely,
Chris Knight

Today's DILBERT and FOXTROT strips

Today is Sunday, which means our favorite comic strips are bigger, longer and in glorious four color. Here are two of today's that I thought were particularly funny. The first is from Scott Adams' Dilbert...

And then Bill Amend serves up today's helping of Foxtrot. As a new player of Warhammer 40,000, I totally dig Jason's horror at mixing Space Marines with Orks in the same box...

Yesterday's Dilbert cartoon by Scott Adams brought whole new meaning to the term "comic strip" (while also skewering the entire "green" movement). Click to enlarge...
