RIP to a real one.

Ashamed of the response of some on here. Here's a man who gave so much to the world, both culturally and intellectually, and all a few folks can scream is BIGOT.

Is this what "racist" looks like?

Is observing officially reported crime statistics and deducing which behavior leads to optimal outcomes a survival instinct or racism?

"Here's a man who gave so much to the world."

Let's not go overboard here. He wrote a comic strip that was less popular than "Garfield." Not exactly a stunning achievement.

What exactly did you contribute to the experiment that is humanity?

Ooh you got me. I have never written a comic strip in which the protagonist, clearly my alter ego, is to all evidence an utterly unremarkable staffer at a large corporation who has a completely inexplicable superiority complex the size of a battleship. I'll carry this failing with me to my grave.

Note that you have not answered the question, which suggests you did not even do such a unremarkable thing as Adams.. Surely, you must feel shame for such a low expression of your potential.

I already told you: I'm gonna carry my failure to become one of the most notorious shitheads in the country with me to my grave.
