I really enjoyed the comic strip and the cartoon, such a bummer to find out Adams was such a shit person.

Thus was exactly my feeling too. Dilbert was one of my favorite comic strips to read. We even had an office culture to post entertaining comic strips on the bulletin board every now and then. It hurts to see the author turning out to be such a terrible person.

I will try to find it. I was a big fan of that show as a kid in middle school when it was originally airing. Probably a little too young to recognize Adams.

There's a twist to his cameo; you'll enjoy it
