RIP Scott Adams, Creator Of Dilbert, Champion Of The American Cubicle Dweller
Scott Adams, the brilliant creator of the “Dilbert” comic strip, died yesterday at the age of 68. He had metastatic prostate cancer.
Millions of us who dined daily on his cubicle humor for years, moved on to his podcast “Real Coffee With Scott Adams” after he was cancelled by leftists.
Yep, Adams came under siege in 2023 because of comments he made after reading the results of a shocking Rasmussen Poll showing that 26% of black Americans disagreed with the statement “It’s OK to be white,” while 21% of black respondents were unsure.
Adams said that with almost half of all blacks not believing it was ok to be white, they were part of a hate group.
The left screamed “Racist!” -without acknowledging the racism unmasked in the poll - and Adams’ cartoon career was over.
Prior to being cancelled, Dilbert appeared daily in more than 2,000 publications. My cubicle at The Virginian-Pilot wasn’t the only one littered with hilarious yellowed Dilbert strips that I’d clipped and thumb-tacked to my walls.
This man gave millions of workers a laugh at the expense of their loser bosses. It was just the tonic we needed to get through another day of working for idiots.
Adams had another even more fatal flaw, which guaranteed that even in death the left would seethe with hatred for the man who suffered for years with cancer: He supported President Donald Trump.
As a reward for his conservatism and 2023 comments, the legacy media took shots at Adams even in death.
By contrast, look how reverential corporate media was to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi when the leader of Isis, a terrorist who was responsible for the deaths of untold thousands of innocent people, died in 2019.
This is the woke left. They’ll tiptoe around terrorists, for fear of offending the jihadis, they’ll even overlook a murderer, but are quick to cancel anyone on the right who - in their twisted minds - makes a misstep.
No matter how much you think you hate them you don’t hate the legacy media enough.
