Creator of famous Dilbert comics has died at 68. During last decade or so he gained additional fame for his controversial public opinions. As such a wide range of obituaries are available with varying assessments. I post link to one: 'Dilbert' Creator Scott Adams Dies at 68: Leaves Final Message to Fans Because it includes his closing statement in part and link to it in full on youtube (for those tube enabled). He converted to Christianity as a recent Pascal wagerer.
I'll admit, Dilbert made me laugh back in the day. But so did the news that his 2nd wife split five minutes after her pre-nup vested. His first wife and her sister were taking care of him at the very end. As usual these days, a complicated situation.
I used to hang the relevant Dilberts in my cubical and my manager once stated to me that was management abuse. I stated that it's only abuse, if you admit to doing what the strip depicts.......
..."For the first part of my life, I was focused on making myself a worthy husband and parent, as a way to find meaning." Probably one of the best of motives, and the most lasting testament. Thanks for the memories, Scott! Your art described HUMANS, a species that really hasn't changed all that much over the last several thousand years. This is why your ART hung on office bulletin boards, factory floors, inside tanks and ships, and in both university and elementary classrooms and on kitchen refrigerators. I hope to see you topside, later!
