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!
This makes me sad. Was my second favourite comic, right behind family circus. Ooops, I meant the Far Side.
I have most of his books up to a certain point.
His Dilbert Principle was actually pretty good and set out a workplace I would want to work in.
I still reference some of his lines. "Welcome to Marketing - Two Drink Minimum" amongst my favourites. Le'sigh.
I lost touch once I stopped getting the Herald daily. I remember his last meltdown/cancellation and was just sad. Now, I am just sad. Scary how this happens. With everything so public now I wonder how often this happened and only people that went to Thanksgiving dinner with them would know.
Their thought process is just so illogical. Does not make sense to me.
I wonder how many just think if they can be super edgy that they’ll be the next Fox News talking head, but instead get rightfully ostracized for their bad belief system.

Explains a lot you would like that crap. Haha.
When I was like 7 I loved Family Circus, I had every book, probably like 50 of them, collected them. I found one a while back, holy schit was that bad. Why did I like that crap?
