Scott Adams, Disgraced Dilbert Creator, Dies at 68

Dilbert' was pulled from wide circulation after Adams’ racist rant in 2023

Scott Adams has died at the age of 68. Adams first published Dilbert, a comic strip that satirized life in white-collar offices, in 1989. The comic strip became ubiquitous in the 1990s. Dilbert was pulled from wide circulation, however, after Adams degraded Black people in a 2023 rant.

Adams said, in part, "If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people… that's a hate group. I don't want to have anything to do with them. And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to White people is to get the hell away from Black people... because there is no fixing this."

Now that he’s gone.
I wonder what level of hell he gets to call his eternal home.

Lest anyone be critical of my title
He was paralyzed from the waist down.
His death is a blessing... for both of us
