The founder of Dilbert - Scott Adams, is dead.
I first saw his work in the Economic Times. And LOLed.
Unlike the cartoon strips we grew up reading - Dennis, Blondie, Archie, etc., this strip had office as the setting. Like Calvin, it delivered deep truth bombs in LOL doses. The only other strip office strip was Glasbergen, but they were two different categories. Dilbert was Dilbert. Glasbergen is Glasbergen.
He made his strips free to access from his blog. If you signed up, you got the daily Dilbert for free in your inbox. I used that for quite some time.
Over the years, I have used his strips EXTENSIVELY - to voice a shared pain, to drive home a point, to teach, but mostly, to laugh with self. To see a real side of the office existence - The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Sharing some of the best Dilbert strips.
