Most success springs from an obstacle or failure. I became a cartoonist largely because I failed in my goal of becoming a successful executive.
From Scott Adams
Be careful that what you write does not offend anybody or cause problems within the company. The safest approach is to remove all useful information.
Obviously there's not much options when you're a cartoonist - you pretty much either work at home or rent an office I guess, and working at home just seems easier.
Home is pretty utopian.
There's kind of a toll you have to pay with a cat; if you don't pet her for 10 minutes she'll bother you for six hours.
There are always deadlines I have to meet. I don't let myself get too close to the deadlines, so it's not like I'm just sweating bullets or anything if the clock is ticking. I never let myself get in that situation.
'Dilbert' became popular during the downsizing of the '90s, and job security was a major theme of the strip.
I think 'Dilbert' will remain popular as long as employees are frustrated and they fear the consequences of complaining too loudly. 'Dilbert' is the designated voice of discontent for the workplace. I never planned it that way. It just happened.
It doesn't take many people to have a bad sense of humor to get in trouble at a corporation.
I have a perverse attraction to risk. Not physical risk but emotional, financial risk - anything than can't kill you immediately.
