Awkward

I'm a huge Dilbert fan, but even I had a big ol' cringe at this article, which reveals that the creator of the curvy-tied office drone, Scott Adams, had been pretending to be a fan on his own and other message boards. It's like something The Pointy-Haired Boss would do. Really, I have to wonder why a cartoonist as successful as Adams, whose work is syndicated to and loved by hordes across the world, would need to do something like this. Unless he's being forced to do it by evil Head of H.R, Catbert... I hope so. How desperate and insecure would you have to be to comment secretly on your own posts?
