Adams made Dilbert pretty insufferable and political in his later years.
Comment on Well damn. Glad he's dead.

Dilbert would have hated Adams. PHB is basically Trump and somehow he completely missed it. Every a shame.

No no no. PHB is Elon Musk, 100%. Trump is like the CEO of Dilbert’s company (a lot dumber than the PHB, but fortunately too stupid to function most of the time, so his direct subordinates have to do the actual day-to-day fuck-ups, leaving only the most gigantic massive fuck-ups for him to handle personally).

Adams was always a little weird. He just masked it better until his divorce. I knew he was a crackpot in 2007 with his “Fossils are Bullshit” article.

Oh, I know, I first had a bit of a whiff of him being weird when I read The Dilbert Principle. Otherwise a fairly amusing book, but the chapter on female coworkers was… uh, to put it in modern parlance, fedoraèd. This was supposed to be a funny book. Wasn’t laughing.
