Dilbert

Dilbert was a lot funnier years ago when Scott Adams still had a job. I don't read it religiously because it's often pretty dull now, but when I do I'm struck by what a sanctimonious prick he comes across as. Anyone else notice that Dilbert is pretty much an asshole? Or does this mean my metamorphosis into a PHB is complete?

    My understanding was that Scott Adams received lots and lots of emails from people in large corporations (like the one he used to work at) giving him material, since doing comics full time.

    I have not noticed a large c-change (sea-change?) in his sanctimoniousness... but I am not the world's most observant comics reader.

    Yes, it's true that for many years all his material has come from readers. He's made no secret of that.
