      1. Where does Scott Adams stand on the pantheon of jagoff cartoonists?pic.twitter.com/BNstc9HGxN

      2. In terms of artistic worth, Adams has none. But he does belong to particular tradition of jerky, dickish cartoonists.

      3. I should add that vast majority of cartoonists I know (hundreds of them) are sweet, kind people. There are exceptions.

      6. Adams definitely belongs on top 10 of morally wretched cartoonists. Perhaps the only top 10 cartoonist list he could make.

      Do you think any of the cartoonists who have cachet with geeks today (Adams, Randall Munroe, Bill Watterson) has artistic merit?

      Watterson is great.

          Yeah, he is... but XKCD, Dilbert, and Ph.D. Comics - they're about internal geek humor, and not artistic merit.
