the good old Dilberito... which was once described as "could have been designed only by a food technologist or by someone who eats lunch without much thought to taste." It was also one of those things where, dude, do you think the reason nobody had invented a simultaneously nutritious, microwaveable, and good-tasting burrito might not have been because no one had thought of that before, but because it’s actually a really scientifically difficult thing to do? I get some real “I’m gonna be the high-IQ outsider who drops a genius bomb on those tunnel-visioned experts in their field, ‘cause I’m just so smart” vibes from it. Reading some of his hype... that was exactly what he was thinking. He wanted to make "the blue jeans" of health food... which just comes off as clearly the reason this doesn't exist is because no one but me was smart enough to realize a healthy food that tastes good and is also quick and cheap is a money maker...

If Ben garrison can be gainfully employed I'm sure he can too. Wow, I forgot all about Ben Garrison, the Jack Chick of Scott Adams. I have a sizeable collection of Chick Tracts. I don't know if I should be proud of that or not.

Strip will be exiled to a creator-owned paywall service Somewhere where people claim to tell the truth perhaps?

Once again we’ve got another genius that doesn’t understand that “Freedom of Speech” doesn’t mean “Freedom From Consequences”. You made your bed Scotty…shut up and sleep in it.

Say what you want about 'Garfield', but Jim Davis knows to STFU and count his money.
Of course, next week they'll be a headline like, "Garfield creator Jim Davis is a holocaust denier" or something.

Strip will be exiled to a creator-owned paywall service When he begged to be 'canceled' I don't think this is what he meant. What a dope.

It's a shame that this kind of stuff isn't really in his "lane", because I would LOVE to hear what the Comics Curmudgeon has to say about Adams' fall from "grace".

This is truly a 'ruin your career' speedrun. Nah, it's not like he's Gina Carrano, he's been like this for years, slowly pissing off more and more people with his bad takes, losing outlets continually over that time.

It got dropped by my paper. Our executive editor wrote an editorial and, unsurprisingly, got angry emails from Adams' supporters. Our publisher just sent an internal memo to staff. None of us are exactly upset and a bunch of us conceded we haven't opened the comics section in years.
