At least Jim Davis isn't the Dilbert guy, though. And he doesn't live in a Garfield shaped house (although maybe he has a Garfield shaped pool? I forget).

Being better than Adams is a bar that is so low it may have struck oil.

I'm a bit out of the loop what happened with the comic that was basically the office but broadcasted via newspaper

The creator is some kind of right wing whacko on twitter now I believe

Behind the Bastards have done a few episodes on him. Quite long but well worth a listen. He's apparently always been a bit... off.., but more recently since an injury and then Trump he's gone off the deep end.

Here's his house:
