I stopped reading Dilbert before Adams went off the deep end
politically, becuase the strips started getting downright _mean_.
He forgot the cardinal rule of comedy in that you're supposed to punch
_up_ to power, not down onto the powerless. Somewhere along the way he
became the very thing he used to mock.
(Adams' career arc reminds me a lot of Ricky Gervais in that respect..)
