Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

in 2016 i made an edit of a dilbert comic and scott adams got so mad he blocked me and then blogged about it

screenshot of a tweet from 2016 of an edited dilbert comic by leyawn:

panel 1 (wally and dilbert talking to the pointy haired boss): wally: the separation of art from the artist is fascinating to me.

panel 2: boss: why is that?
wally: i should clarify - not just the separation, but the reclamation of art for another use. the artist loses their work to the world.

panel 3. boss: like pepe? it must feel so awful to see that happen.
wally: exactly. your work is no longer personal but public.

panel 4: wally: and aspect that comes with the territory. to share one's art is to risk parody and theft. it can both inspire and desecrate. we've seen pepe, a once beloved meme, turn into a mascot of trump supporters, as ridiculous as that sounds.

panel 5: dilbert: even before that, pepe wasn't some meme. he was a character in matt furie's web comic. pepe the frog is a thousand steps removed from the source. his comic is great by the way.

panel 6: boss: so it's hopeless? our work can be turned into terrible things and we can't do shit?

panel 7: wally: well there's one thing you can do. take some asshole's art and make it good. it turns out scott adams is a huge dumbass. it's great.

panel 8: wally: he thinks a paid cabal of trolls is out to get him. he praises trump.
dilbert: i thought his characters in dilbert were satirical but it turns out he's just as stupid as they are. you are what you write ahaha

how to insult me on twitter
10/21/2016

i've noticed that a lot of people are struggling to come up with creative ways to insult me on twitter. as a public service, i will organize the common approaches in this post so people can insult me by number

1. act like you think i draw garfield

2. proclaim that i am the pointy-haired boss from dilbert (assume a million people havne't already told me the same thing)

3. label me irrelevant

4. note that dilbert used to be funny but now it is just sad, like its creator

5. make a fake dilbert comic and have the characters mock their misinterpretations of my opinions in a way that you mistake for satire

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?"

Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

The scorestreak split-flap display now lives next to the score display. Looks maybe a bit crowded, but I think it's the best place for it.

I also quite like how this works witout any GUI overlay, and I might not need any menus either. A way to show some statistics would be fun to have, still, hmm.
