I still like Dilbert.
- ghaff 6y agoEh. There's the odd fun strip or sequence now and then. But it's mostly stuck in the 90s Pac Bell cubicle world where Scott Adams worked. There's so much fresh SV material to mine that Dilbert really doesn't. (And that's leaving aside Scott Adams' personal persona.)
- ponker 6y agoYou really nailed what I hadn't been able to verbalize. Dilbert is still stuck in a world that no longer exists. The open hostility, hierarchy, etc. of the corporate world has been replaced with this kind of generic feel-goodyness that still has the same sociopathic corporate behaviors but cloaked in some kind of faux "meaning"... the HBO show really nails some of this while Dilbert feels antiquated.
- mercer 6y agoAlso, much as I'd like to, I can't get past Scott Adams 'personal persona'. It ruined Dilbert for me. Perhaps it shouldn't, but it did.
- labster 6y agoIt’s hard for me to appreciate Scott’s daily dose of misanthropy. By the time I get to the comics page, I’ve already been dosed with the pure, uncut stuff on the front page, spoken by our American President.
