1067: Double Header

Scott Adams, Artistic Style and Absurdist Humor

Scott Adams discusses his artistic background, noting his mother was a landscape artist while his own skills were developed through "brute force" practice. He defines his humor as a combination of observational engineering and identifying cognitive blind spots in management. Adams agrees with the characterization of his work as absurdist, focusing on the irrational behaviors of smart people in office environments.
