Dilbert’s Scott Adams Talks
Skip to comments
Bloomberg Opinion columnist Barry Ritholtz interviews American cartoonist Scott Adams, who captured the dysfunction of the modern workplace in his long-running comic strip “Dilbert.” Adams has also written several works of satire, commentary and business analysis, including “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life” and “Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don’t Matter.”
As his latest book goes paperback, Scott Adams discusses…
Success:
- Succeeding takes effort.
- His brain works better in the morning.
- His body works better at noon.
- The night time is the right time for fun.
Politics:
- The Social Media business promotes incivility.
- Why he understands Donald Trump and you don’t.
- Why he’s further to the left than Bernie Sanders.
- Donald Trump and Media Priorities as triggers.
Comics and Cartooning:
- When the syndicate called to offer a contract they identified as United Media (not United Feature Syndicate) and Scott asked for credentials thinking it was some lame minor league company.
- Why not being the best artist or writer didn’t affect the success of Dilbert.
- Advice for aspiring cartoonists.
- Cartoonist Jack Cassidy.
