Scott Adams Syndication Advice Part 2
Dilbert creator, Scott Adams, has posted his second piece of advice to Scott Meyer’s feature (see earlier post for background). Today’s post topic is on creating a reader recognized reoccurring theme.
When Dilbert was new, a computer publication approached United Media to reprint all of my computer-themed Dilbert strips in their magazine. The deal was made. Then United Media went to the archives to assemble all of my computer-related comics.
There were six.
Over a thousand Dilbert comics had been published, and both the computer publication people and my own syndication company thought Dilbert was “about computers.” Readers tell you what your comic is about, regardless of how many times you address a theme.
