    I only ever knew the cartoonist for Dilbert. What did he do that’s got folks hating on him? Were there some messed up comics that he published?

      He’s been on the clearly wrong side of bad takes numerous times at this point.

      The cartoonist for Dilbert was kind of fun, then he started to be kind of weird, then he became really odd, then he turned into a total weirdo, then he died. The end.
