The Dilbert Guy - new toon

[vomitHatSteve]

I don't know who else follows unhinged comics as closely as they follow American politics, but the guy who writes Dilbert has been getting increasingly weird and incoherent since 2016.

I wouldn't say his crazy has "peaked" but certainly one relevant high point is this tweet.

So I wrote a song about the explicit claim that the guy - who again, writes Dilbert - might pre-emptively murder random strangers

lyrics

► Show Spoiler

You mind yourself as you go through your day
You try to be good, and you try to be kind
But there's no way to anticipate
The sudden onslaught of the Dilbert guy

The coffee shop, you sit and type
An incidental locking of eyes
You have no history, you have no gripe
But you've clocked as a threat to the Dilbert Guy

Women don't understand, the civil war has already started
Men live in a constant state of violence
We size up every threat, and have a tentative plan to kill it first
We live that war, and it never stops

Walking through the woods one day
When there's a bear to your surprise
You breathe a deep sigh of relief
At least it's not the Dilbert Guy

His forearms swollen from gripping his mighty pen
His frontal lobe engorged like a geek leviathan
He'll tell you he's very smart again and again and again and again and again
And again and again and again

Women don't understand, the civil war has already started
Men live in a constant state of violence
We size up every threat, and have a tentative plan to kill it first
We live that war, and it never stops
It never stops
Women don't understand, the civil war has already started
Men live in a constant state of violence
We size up every threat, and have a tentative plan to kill it first
We live that war, and it never stops

Good vhs tune here.

Like the "Again and again" part.

And the lyric:

"His forearms swollen from gripping his mighty pen
His frontal lobe engorged like a geek leviathan"

Thanks MT!

A good take on the growing weirdness of that chap - he now has a subscriber only comic strip of Dilbert Revived or something like that and he proves, in-arguably, that loony right wingers can't do comedy. It's hilariously bad regurgitation of MAGA talking/drooling points.
As to the original comic - didn't see it often and didn't find it funny when I did.
The song is funny, weird, a comic strip in sound and I like the VHSness of it.

I used to really like the guy's stuff (heck, this isn't even my first song called "The Dilbert [something]"), but he has gotten weird

Thanks for the listen!

LOL!!!

this is pretty good man. I am listening on my cans and some of the higher end stuff is a little aggressive. Esp that little cricket or locust sample over there on the left.

Really good lyrics. An on trend Regdar jam.

Actually i'm half way thru now and it has clamed down a little bit. Much less aggressive. Your unhinged STAAAAHPPPS" around 2:08 and 2:11 feels like it is in a different space kinda. I don't know if trying to squash it more will help or if you just kind of moved in closer to the mic to create the enhinged in your face dramatics intentionally but it does take on a different feel and texture for sure.

The "staaahpps" may very well be in a different place. I forget if I used my "main" vocal chain on that or if they're in the BGVox stack
