There were two Scott Adams: the one known for being the creator of Dilbert, and the one who recently passed away who was beloved by right wingers in America. People like me who knew the first Scott Adams and who loved his Dilbert comic in the 90s were dismayed when he morphed into the second Scott Adams.
If you ever wondered about him as I often did then I recommend this piece by Andrew Farago. It does a really good job covering the two Scott Adams and explaining the transformation. If you were bewildered as to how the transformation could even occur, Farago helps with that bewilderment.
For more on Dilbert, see the Wikipedia page (which is where this image resides).
