    Another thing I noticed is that the character is named Dilberg. That’s awfully close to Dilbert, and combined with the office setting it feels like it has to be a reference.

    I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be satire (because the Dilbert guy is a twat), an homage (because the author is a twat who likes another twat), or just a coincidence.

    It’s another point where the comic seems more confusing than communicative.

      What’s confusing?

      There’s a guy living in wage slavery making poor life choices that he justifies to himself as he finds no joy elsewhere in life.

      We sympathise with and laugh at the fool.

      The tie is pure Dilbert.

      because the Dilbert guy is a twat

      Was a twat. He died back in January!

        Yeah Scott Adams was a dumb bastard that tried to treat his prostate cancer (I think) with Ivermectin. Then tried to get actual help when it was too late.
