I grew up with dilbert being referenced. I was on the early internet, so things were odd. It was full of nuts and wierdos.

Scott Adams stuck out to me because his cartoons were funny and sarcastic. His books felt like he was letting me in behind the scenes. He talked to me, the reader about dealing with large amounts (for the time) traffic to his website in a honest, funny and simple way.

His books also had a link to his website, which was pretty unique for a non-technical book at the time.

I also quite liked his TV show.

I stopped reading them regularly as I grew up. I would see the odd salient dilbert in slack or email.

during the trump primary, thats when I bumped into his other side. It was heart breaking to see someone who made what I thought was such observant cartoons shit out such bile.
