(OOPS: I wrote this on LibreOffice, and missed a paragraph when cutting/pasting to Mastodon... here it is...) If anyone had ever pinned up a Mutts strip or Zippy the Pinhead or Nancy, I would have wanted to hang out with them in the lunchroom. Even Tumbleweeds might have been a welcome change. Sadly, it was almost always fuckin’ #Dilbert, all the way down. 10/9

BTW: I wrote this months ago, and it's a total coincidence that the last word of #ScottAdams's last public statement was also "useful."

@ridetheory I posted a few Dilbert comics over the years — mostly old comics about unix sysadmins, since I worked with them. But this was the comic I liked best: I labeled the cowboys with the names of the technical staff I worked with and labeled Buni as me, since they tended to look at me like that.

@ridetheory I worked at a place that had lots of Tom Tomorrow and Life in Hell cartoons and it was fine. (But I thrive on sarcasm)

@ridetheory What was the vibe if it was a Frazz or Get Fuzzy strip? :neobot_3c:

@ridetheory I'm curious. Did you have any specific read on Calvin and Hobbes? Garfield?
