Is Yu Amoung Us?

Apparently Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert Comic was busted on comic forum starting flames and bashing other members when they say bad things about his comic.

Question is, is Yu amoung us?

by **Nachtsider** Tue 19 Apr 2011 - 17:15

I don't doubt the possibility he knows we exist. After all, I e-mailed him some years back (no response, of course).

But actually being among us? Like, on this very forum?

Nah.

Unless I deleted his account for being a non-posting user. Laughing

@ Yu's Account being deleted for lurking! Serves him right!

I am reasonably confident Yu does exist, and that he is not as secretive as we assume. Run his Jewelbox page through an online translator and you'll see references to anime/manga conventions that he is attending and presumably selling/signing copies at.

It is my life goal to track down Yu Aida and bring him to... justice?

by Officer_Charon Tue 19 Apr 2011 - 18:51

Did somebody say... justice? *perks up*

by Entropy Tue 19 Apr 2011 - 20:56

If he did, that would be a whole lot of pressure.

Then again, he likely doesn't know enough English to sign up so there's that.

I wonder how to run those translator thingies on his website!
'Cause m a y b e he might announce his arrival one day at a local comic-con! (I'd go!)
Of course what constitutes 'local' on this club depends on the member, but you know what I mean. Wink

*ahem*
uh, like I was sayin' um, Mister Aida is like, the greatest writer/artist of alllll timmmmme!
I know I know, ...ugh.

Greatest writer and artist of all time? Surely you jest, sir.

by tremec6speed Wed 20 Apr 2011 - 21:23

'Nachtsider wrote: 'Greatest writer and artist of all time? Surely you jest, sir.' (whispers to Nachtsider) the man may be among us sooooooo
(in a LOUD voice) I jest you not, Aida is filled with manga goodness!!
just whistlin'

By the way, I'm your biggest fan!! (which prolly makes me that much more obnoxious to him)
Um, I actually don't have every book yet but, but I will reeaaaal soon!

Uhh tremec? Your /sarcasm appears to be off.

by Five_X Wed 20 Apr 2011 - 23:19

Yeah, Heinlein was kind of an asshole later in life. Good writer for the most part, though.

Can't believe you struck out F. Scott Fitzgerald, though, are you mad?

Also, while Tolkien isn't the best writer ever, not nearly so, his influence is nearly unmatched.

Mad as a hatter. And that what he gets for taking over 22 years for writing the Great Gatsby.

by Five_X Thu 21 Apr 2011 - 1:56

It took him three or so years, actually. Twenty-two wouldn't make sense at all. I doubt he was planning Great Gatsby when he was seven years old!

All that prattling and no Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clark, or Arthur Miller?

Meh, I prefer epic poetry anyway.

I was going by what I could see on my bookshelf when I made that list, actually. Razz

my sarcasm went with me sanity a lonnnng time ago....... $dancin\\'$

by Godot Sun 1 May 2011 - 5:04

Must be horribly embarrassing for Scott Adams. Or should be and is not, seeing as how he responded when he was discovered. Probably says a lot about him. Surprised no one here is commenting on that.

If Yu is lurking here somewhere, I'll certainly the last person to kiss up to him Laughing
