Only just found out the theme was Oingo Boingo after driving with an Oingo Boingo playlist while wondering why this one song I 'hadn't heard before' sounded so familiar.
where the adaptation is way better than the comic itself
great damn show.
The comic itself was always just Garfield but for business geeks. The TV show on the other hand copied the formula the Simpsons had by being more wacky yet down to earth rather than dull. The cartoon is better solely because it’s more relatable to general audiences whereas the comic strip was only really understood by people who work at 9-to-5 office jobs.
One thing is for certain though, the franchise probably won’t be getting a revival any time soon.
i actually miss when it was more garfieldy, more foreign-land absurdity, more cute moments with Dogbert sitting on his knees..
I was always somewhat fond of Dilbert so I am disappointed to see him destroy its legacy in favor of his twitter argument addiction.
No, Scott Adams publicly said things about black people that made sense so he's cancelled forever. I think he still draws Dilbert but you need to pay a subscription.
>If this ends with every 20th century comic/writer being cancelled
Newspapers kept putting up with Scott Adams throughout his periods of screeching at women, suicide victims and at anyone who dared question his unparalleled genius.
They didn't ditch him when he spiralled into all kinds of culty shit like claiming that you can make universe reorient itself around your goals by writing them on a piece of paper over and over again.
They stuck with him throughout years of him worshipping Trump like no other MAGAtard and insisting that the dems want nothing short of exterminating conservatives.
They did nothing when he claimed that, in the event of Biden's victory, republicans can expect to end up hunted and killed off within months.
It was only when Scott started screeching about how whites need to self-segregate themselves from blacks and end anything that blacks benefit from that newspapers gave him the boot.
Christ, even /misc/ on the average knows better not to show off your power level like this.
Scott is a fricking moron who decided that nothing would go wrong if he were to out-zyklon Ben Garrison.
And every other cancelled comic/writer?

Tatsuya Ishida of Sinfest infamy crashed and burned his audience with no survivors on his own without external interference. It's not cancelling when you do it to yourself.
J.K. Rowling still rolls in money, her only losses are in the form of losing some fantards.
Vox Day got kicked out of some association for sci-fi writers after he tried to rig a contest just to make a point, hardly a cancellation.

Majority of the writers/artists of the last decade that ruined themselves in cancellation were mostly just not able to stomach trans stuff.
They were perfectly willing to join in the current culture, play the game, pander to various minorities, claim women are obviously stronger and smarter than all men, add in gay characters and themes, retcon characters as having been always gay, retcon others into having always been black etc. But they drew the line at trans. They were just plain not going to freely admit or join in the cultural mindset of a man in a dress is 100% a woman and should only ever use women pronouns or else it is literal Nazism, join in fricking destroying anyone else that does not fully conform to it as well etc. They just could not bend their brains in that direction.

I'm not sure if any other comic writer ever soft admitted to killing their kids before. And this is before we even get into angry old Fox New watching boomer conspiracy theory screeching shit.
If it were an other way around and a comic strip artist became a massive lefty SJW, conservatards would make sure their publisher know that such an artist is a liability and needs to be dropped.
Would that be 'cancel culture' also?
It has been incredibly satisfying watching them eat each other over Israel vs. Palestine. Like, nothing could come close to the schadenfreude in seeing an entire film franchise (Scream) fall apart because one of the actresses had the temerity to ask for peace and non-violence. It's been more entertaining than anything Marvel or DC has put out in the last 5 years.

The Dilberito may as well have been a terrorist plot to destroy America's toilets.
Scott himself is just kind of a twat that rode the one line that actually got him praise (office quibbles) until he couldn't contain his real self anymore. People like him are a dime a dozen in things like telephony and software: administrators and middle management types that pretend they're engineers and think because they understand one very particular system they are ultra-rational supermen that have the answers to all of life's questions.
His books are straight up insane. One of them is basically just The Secret repackaged for middle aged conservative men.

I have his "The joy of work" or some shit like that.
Within the first few chapters he motivated the readers to pursue any job they ever wanted regardless of any deficiency in ability, knowledge and practice - which he illustrated by insisting that spaceships are entirely AI-operated, therefore no expertise is needed to become an astronaut as they are essentially glorified flight passengers.
He also included an RP session of Dogbert going against a character of one of his critics, as well as insisting that your best defense against valid criticism is to sperg out until your critic becomes uneasy and leaves you be.

This comes from his love affair with Trump. He sees the basic abuser/bully tactics Trump uses in speeches and pretends it's some kind of genius verbal Jiu Jitsu instead of childish insults.

I mean, it is.
The series is pretty dead anyway, even before Adams lost his shit on twitter. No one really cares about Dilber stuff anyway, it was more of a 90s fad.
And newspaper comics are largely a dead medium at this point in history. No one is really making any money from them except the big names who were big names before all newspapers died. Everyone makes a comic on their sites or twitter now so there is no division between professional and amateur doodling a comic of their own. It's all pretty much the same. And no major media labels are paying anyone for them and none of them are rising up to be a new animated series anytime soon.
>No one really cares about Dilbert stuff anyway, it was more of a 90s fad.
Pretty much. Even at the time the show was late to the party as no one gave a shit about Dilbert at the turn of the millennium

It's sad how true this is. The only ones making any money off comic strips are the same people who had publishing contracts and media attention before newspapers fell off.
Does not make much sense either since comics were such a huge source of media for studios too for almost a century. Loads of comic strips were picked up for animated series, live adaptations, or just became while franchises. It looks like a fairly cheap and easy thing to pay someone to make a weekly strip if it can lead to a lucrative venture with more things like Peanuts theme parks and Garfield phones.
The problem is that the distribution system doesn't really exist anymore. Legacy strips have an established reader base, but new strips won't be able to reach nearly as wide an audience with print newspapers. And while they can publish online, that just puts a strip in competition with everything else on the web.
Dilbert was never similar to Garfield, like at all. It's entirely based around observational humor and satire (particularly of white collar culture/news/etc). Dilbert was always quite good for a newspaper strip. And I think the animated show really just kind of went to the logical conclusion of this format being put into a 22 minute format.
It’s kind of iconic that a comic that started about Dilbert’s weird life that then became entirely about office humor got an adaptation that started about office humor than became entirely about Dilbert’s weird life
I got a Dilbert desk calender for christmas and it has kept me company throughout the year. Didn't think much of it at first because I had no prior exposure to the IP but when Adams got cancelled the act of flipping over to the next page every morning became kinda funny to me. I'm gonna miss it going into the new year. Blog over.
Only just found out the theme was Oingo Boingo after driving with an Oingo Boingo playlist while wondering why this one song I 'hadn't heard before' sounded so familiar.
the original is even better. great song
great damn show.
i actually miss when it was more garfieldy, more foreign-land absurdity, more cute moments with Dogbert sitting on his knees..
riiiight, HE'S the one that destroyed his legacy.
Adams is a moron. Don't defend it
If this ends with every 20th century comic/writer being cancelled I'm not gonna support it.
Thankfully, most cartoonists aren't morons like Adams
kek, they all are if they are still participating in a dying medium

He thinks that good and bad things happen by magic, why wouldn't he apply that to saying dumb shit online?
I'm not sure if any other comic writer ever soft admitted to killing their kids before. And this is before we even get into angry old Fox New watching boomer conspiracy theory screeching shit.
Coincidentally, that's exactly what *would* make me want to support it.
He can be but it's better than letting cancel culture win.

I meant in terms like a new film, show or really anything.

One guy drawing his own comic isn't a franchise.

Didn't this get recalled because it fricked up people's stomachs?

Never watched the show, so the cast of the Far Side got Dilbert pregnant?
>Spicy Indian
What's in it?
Shoulda been Dilbert brand paperclips
Dilbert brand office supplies would have sold incredibly well.
This did happen
>a product discontinued in 2003 means that there's still a franchise in 2023

The cartoon predicted a LOT of shit
Predicted it, or just mentioned it before you were old enough to notice it?
Dogbert is so cute
The occasional tail wags are a good detail.
I wish he was real
he would be really handy againts the irs
I like that the drawings move

I was enjoying watching it until I realized I was watching a show about work during one of my only vacations periods away from work.
