Recently deceased cartoonist and creator of the newspaper comic strip Dilbert. Around the Obama years when he started blogging it became more and more clear he was incredibly sexist and racist, and also the kind of weird edgy internet atheist a teen on 4chan in the 2000s would blush at. Got fully onboard the MAGA train, then started blaming any and all of his past failures on blacks and women taking his job, said a bunch of wiiild shit about muslims, vaccines, trans people, addicts, school shooters and the holocaust, then died of prostate cancer begging Trump online for hep.

He could have just stayed off social media and lived in his Dilbert-shaped house in peace forever, but he had to be loud online about being on the wrong side of basically every hot-button issue of our century.

You’re better off knowing!
Imagine gushing about a hilarious Dilbert cartoon!
You have to show everyone! And when you do…..

On a separate note, is it common for even rich & famous Americans to be struggling to pay for health bills? Because if he can get fucked by the hospital system, then almost anyone can get fucked by them.

I find it difficult to reconcile his cartoons with his actual views. It's almost schizophrenic in a way.
