Seems to me, pschearer, that Wiley is a capitalist. Check the right-side of this webpage.
Tell me something, pschearer, if you want to help your friends or family members better themselves by stopping them from doing stupid things, do you hate your friends and family?
pschearer, I think if you really read his comics, you will find that his scorn (I don’t think it rises to hatred) is for those individuals who, through lack of humility, commitment to the truth, and competence, time and again misuse the shareholder’s resources for their own benefit and to the detriment of the community, workers, society, and planet.
If you believe there are no individuals within the ranks of the business elite who deserve to be made fun of, please give me the space/time coordinates of your home world, and a way to get there.
I agree with MikeBX and pschearer is always saying these kind of things about Wiley. If you can’t stand his cartoons, then you need to stop looking at them, pschearer.
Dan: Just because Wiley wants to sell stuff does not make him a capitalist. My ongoing disagreement is with the people who disdain capitalism, the business world, CEOs, etc., while denying that they embrace such a prejudice.
Mike: We differ in our respective abilities to tell when a cartoon is about a specific individual or a class of people. Dilbert, for example, has a very individualized boss so the jokes are anti-this-boss but not necessarily anti-boss. I admit this particular strip is borderline in that regard, so you have chosen to interpret it as criticizing a particular type of Wall Streeter, but in the context of Wiley’s ongoing anti-business cartoons, I see it very differently. (As a great example of how cartoons can cover an entire class, review almost any Wiley cartoon about lawyers. He is harder on them than even on CEOs, but in the case of lawyers, he is much closer to the truth.)
Susie: I don’t need to have to like a strip to want to read it. Besides, Wiley’s best stuff can be excellent. Believe it or not, I’m happy to give credit where credit is due.
King: Note the polite respect that I grant the more thoughtful posters as opposed to your childish name-calling.

I know a man who was raised by actual Communist parents. What’s Wiley’s excuse for hating the business world so much?

At least they’re still on the cliff.
