Nah, Scott Adams is a hateful bigot. He thinks black people are a “hate group” - he truly went off the rails.
I don’t really think this comic reflects its author’s personal views at all. C&H has always been filled with shock comedy, black comedy, deliberate insensitivity, and silly puns, and everything is a target. This one doesn’t really stand out as any different to how the comic’s always been.
I don’t really feel like there’s ever really been a right-wing slant to these comics either. And I say that as someone who’s ardently left-wing.
I mean, I remember it from like a decade ago when it first came out.
But before Lemmy it had been maybe 5 years since I saw one?
So maybe that’s why it seems like a big change. Back then it was just dark humor, now it seems like it tries to piss people off and say “just a joke”. Like, the quality isn’t what I remember, even if it’s trying to be the same thing.
Like comparing The Onion to Babylon Bee, they’re both trying to do the same thing, the result isn’t the same tho. There’s a conservative slant that just makes it annoying. Like, both of those things are giant wastes of money, why are they the two options?
The only webcomic I kept up with was SMBC and xkcd
I’m not sure when it happened, but the author of these comics definitely pulled a Scott Addams at some point.
Probably when he got enough money to start thinking Republicans make some good points about tax rates

Classic case of the media not changing but the humor of the viewer did.

Oh, buddy. 2005 was 19 years ago.
Cyanide and Happiness has always been hit or miss. It’s a collaboration between multiple cartoonists, and they’re not all equally funny to everyone.
TIL it’s multiple cartoonists.
For almost the first decade it was four.
There’s a conservative slant to The Onion?
No, to the Bee.
Wow, this is an absolutely wild take. What the fuck are you talking about?
It’s a ripoff of a 30 year old bumper sticker joke…
I legitimately remember seeing them all over in the 90s.
And it’s always been conservative assholes with the bumper sticker.
A Scott Adams? As far as I’m aware there’s three authors.
