I've read a few of his books from before he went off the deep end. What I'm curious to see is how his right wing followers will react when some of his other beliefs start to bubble up to the surface. For instance, he's an atheist and an extreme one at that (he also believes that humans don't even have free will). He won't really have anywhere to turn at that point.
He also loses the revenue on Dilbert licensing for corporate communications -- things like employee manuals, sales presentations and the like. Which was a fairly lucrative sideline.
No HR or internal comms department is going to touch that anymore.

He's worth something like $70 million, he'll be just fine. Maybe he can invest it in Twitter.
I liked Dilbert when it first started and was more "geeky engineer trying to navigate life with a sarcastic dog" but remember signing up for his online community back in the mid 90's and could see even then it was a big echo chamber rapidly going down a sinkhole.
I actually always found his comics hilarious. I could relate to a lot of them with corporate life. There's a guy in one of the Teams channels I'm part of who posts Dilbert cartoons every Friday. Will be interesting to see if anything comes up this Friday!
