As an IT guy who worked in Telecom I have been following Scott since Dilbert first appeared. @ScottAdamsSays nailed our office practices and policies perfectly.
From cubicle farms to meetings that met themselves,
You sketched the quiet madness we all learned to survive.
Pointy-haired edicts, process for process’ sake,
The slow erosion of common sense—
All rendered with a pen sharper than most audits.
You didn’t just make us laugh;
You gave language to frustration before it burned us out.
In a single strip, we felt seen.
In a single panel, we felt less alone.
Your books went further than the comics—
Not comfort food, but tools.
Systems over slogans.
Reality over wishful thinking.
You taught that persuasion mattered,
That how people actually behave
Is more important than how theory says they should.
And when politics grew tribal and brittle,
You stayed open where others slammed doors.
You examined Trump without reflexive outrage,
Questioned radical policies without fear of excommunication,
And insisted—unfashionably—that curiosity
Is not betrayal, and skepticism is not hate.
That stance came at a cost.
You paid it anyway.
Because intellectual honesty always does.
Now, as you face cancer,
The fight is no longer abstract or ironic.
No punchline. No strip ending on a beat.
Just will, clarity, and time measured differently.
But if there is one thing your work has shown, It’s this:
Clear thinking is strength.
Humor is resilience.
And telling the truth – calmly, persistently–Outlasts noise.
Whatever comes next,
Your ideas are already deployed,
Your insights already replicated across generations of thinkers, builders, skeptics, and survivors.
From the cubicles you immortalized
To the minds you sharpened—
Thank you.
And fight on.
Please stop and pray for @ScottAdamsSays
