Early in my career I worked for government and universities. Some of my coworkers were "in" to Dilbert and would plaster the comic strips up on their walls and doors. I never liked it; I found it inane and poorly drawn.
Then I got an industry job at a small company. The CEO of this company was the pointy-haired boss from Dilbert. Now I get it. I've loved Dilbert ever since.
For years I used to buy a Dilbert desk calendar every January. Haven't seen any for the last couple of years and have wondered why. Apparently (according to the linked article) he went a bit loopy over the last decade and expressed a few interesting views, for which he had been "cancelled". First I'd heard of it. Oh well.
You could tell a lot about the people you work with by what they stick up. Dilbert was more of an acquired taste per se than say Larson.
Bit like people who bought either Mad or Cracked. Rarely bought both.
I was more a Viz reader back in the day…
