Yeah? - Well, a racist rant by the person who created him will do that! No regrets here. I liked Dilbert too, but it's payback. I'll learn to live without him. I retired from a large corporate office, so I guess I can retire from Dilbert EXACTLY the same way. Gone. Forgotten. Like that. No problem. https://www.npr.org/2023/02/26/1159580425/newspapers-have-dropped-the-dilbert-comic-strip-after-a-racist-rant-by-its-creat#:~:text=The Washington Post, The Los,carry the syndicated comic strip.
Dilbert was deeply funny twenty years ago. The strip had become bitter in a way that I found unfunny. Maybe Adams has said all he has to say.
I think "Dilbert as we know it" has been gone a long time. Adams caught the zeitgeist pretty well for awhile, then blew up to Davis/Schulz levels. But I think he's been coasting for a long time, and I didn't appreciate the things he'd done recently (over the past several years) to push his far-right agenda. He's entitled to it until people bail, of course, but I happened to have been an early deserter. I was still reading "classic" Dilbert up until the day it was pulled, but I can't say I will miss it. More like Garfield than Calvin and Hobbes in that sense. But, to be clear, he wasn't "canceled." He was in the business of selling his comics and turned himself into such a stink no one wants to be associated with him. It's the marketplace at work, full force.
