16. Dilbert cartoons were hilarious and spot-on

Then, when Adams started espousing Trumpist nonsense, the cartoons stopped being funny. Each one I saw became a reminder of MAGA nonsense. I became an un-fan real quick.

I'm not "glad" he's gone. Prostate cancer creeps up on you and kills. I hate it. I'm OK just ignoring his cartoons and any public commentary he made. Now that he's gone, that's one less high profile MAGAt in the world to lend his "expertise" in public forums.
