The difference between Scott Adams and Charles Schulz :

“I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.”

— C. Schulz (1970)

@EgyptianAphorist Another difference is that Scott Adams 'Dilbert' was dull, repetitive and boring, representative of an incredibly narrow-minded outlook, while Charles Schulz's 'Peanuts' was innovative, brilliant, and often philosophically inspiring.

and that Scott Adams simply took the ideas to Dilbert from letter by readers.

@EgyptianAphorist little refresher about how awesome Schultz was possibly maybe worth hearing adams whine. Quality dude

@swoody It is refreshing when the person and the artist are principled. Hate is unfunny.

@EgyptianAphorist it stands out even more from 1970, brave stance at that time for a white person imo

@swoody You’re right to say so. Schulz was ahead of his time, Adams is behind his…

@kcsorenby @EgyptianAphorist @swoody Yes & this is NOT how I remember the #usa when I first arrived from Egypt as a teenage college student.

Back then, people could still have civil conversations without #race or #religion dominating the conversation.

As an African, immigrant & Muslim I would like to see this inclusive America again. Here is my #story :

A Muslim, an immigrant and a poet. The story of a young man who dares to face challenges after deciding to return to the U.S. from Egypt where he lived.

@EgyptianAphorist

Schultz added a black person to his comic to make him equal

Adams added a black person to his comic to mock him

Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen then it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz.

@pinkyjones My pleasure to share examples of people acting out of the courage of their noble convictions. Too many examples of bad behavior being overlooked, or worse, rewarded.

Heartening to see how many folks on #Mastodon / #Fediverse have positively responded!

@Pineywoozle I agree and think there is a natural eloquence to possessing nobility of spirit — so that when we speak of the good and the just, in turn, it is beautiful 🙏🏼

@EgyptianAphorist Yeah, it’s like the words compose themselves within our souls and lose all awkwardness.
