      I liked Dilbert and the animated series myself. Considering the theme it’s truly a disappointment hearing about the creator. I like old ones for how I interpret them (back when I didn’t know his ideals) but when you know a creator’s ideals then it’s hard to enjoy them outside of that.

      Like Dilbert was mostly anti corporate (or least their way of things) then the creator went hat in hands on knees to fucking Trump cause he needed help. Fuck that dude like offering Satan a blowjob. I haven’t watched recent South Park so if that’s a plot point I’d prefer not to read half of it.

        It’s worse than him simply kissing the ring, much worse. Dude’s worldviews are gross, regardless of Trump. Behind the Bastards did a thorough dive, dunno if podcast format works well for ya, but there’s a lotta info there. But yeah, you’re not the only one who got whiplash from him being so right about corporate work life, yet wrong about…well, roughly everything else.

        Yet another (sad) lesson I guess about art, specifically the evergreen, permanently mystifying, distinction between the art and the artist.
