I only read Chariot of the Gods but I liked it.
It was sometimes in the 70s.

Scott Adams, creator of "Dilbert":

He provided, through his most famous creation, quite a few office chuckles and then he went off the deep end.

RIP Scott Adams

Like tons of office workers I was a big fan of Dilbert.

At least he died with his favourite fascist still in office.

He was a quite clever guy and Dilbert was actually comic strip perfection. Simple artwork but extremely sharp and crisp writing.

It was extremely disappointing to see him derail that way.

Its a bit of a videogaming historical curiosity that while the people behind Nintendos most famous hardware and SEGAs most famous software are pretty well known, the people that put soldering iron to circuit board for SEGA don't seem to be, with the possible exception of their missteps like the 32X or Mega-CD...

I have to admit I'm not overly familiar with much of his work but 80s Japanese animation made for some strange bedfellows sometimes:

Sad to read but also brings fond memories of the huge entertainment he's provided to me for the vast majority of my life.
Also nice to read a proper obituary, instead of a couple of paragraphs about their most known acts + a slew of social media posts.

Damn. I was always land-based in my power kiting days but what a contribution to my fucked knees that man made.
