There was a bit of a debate on the Reason Magazine “Hit and Run” blog as to whether Scott Adams, cartoonist behind Dilbert, is a Libertarian or not. This was based on Scott Adams’s posting of a Political Positioning survey, and possibly some cartoons as well.

My answer is, sure, why not? Case in point, from about a month ago:

My question is: (1) Does Scott Adams believe what he drew here? Or, to what degree does Scott Adams believe what he drew?

I used to think I was a cynic. I have since realized that I have a few ideals, and am therefore not a cynic. The answer to the question “To what degree do I believe what Scott Adams drew here?” is not much?

To Scott Adams’s credit, everybody knows what it means when someone says that they are working in “Dilbertville”, and Dilbert makes excellent office satire. And to its credit, the next day Dilbert returned to its credible office satire, and all was well in Dilbertville once again.
