Now Dilbert Is Racist
Damn Wokies have zero sense of humor:

Now Dilbert is racist! Popular comic strip is canned by 77 newspapers after artist Scott Adams began incorporating anti-woke plotlines, including black character who identifies as white

I thought the woke crowd did not read papers, just boomers. The strips were accurate and funny.

Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

Luckily for Adams, he can afford to do it.

Yes - his "couldn't give a shit" attitude is evident in his characters.



I found what you said riveting.

Yep, leftists are humorless. One does not joke around in church. Blasphemy. Heresy.

No doubt, Adams has quite a pile of "fuck you" money.

The fact that they are screaming and retaliating over this serves to prove Adams' point.

What's really hilarious about this is to imagine all the woke leftist hipsters that used to think Adams' counter-corporate-culture message was über-hip now having to burn all their Dilbert stuff

My local paper dropped him last week with no comment. They also dropped Beetle Bailey.

Well, the surprising part of this is that there was a Beatle Bailey to drop. As far as I knew, that comic strip ended many years ago.

It make sense that he had to go, what with Bailey being part of the Military Industrial Complex. His usefulness has passed.

Not sure I love Scott Adams, but I think its headed that way.

Great stuff!!

Newspapers are in their death spiral anyway, probably in no small part to their woke agendas.

Same here, it was the only comic I read. Lee Enterprises owns our local paper.

It’s happened before. The leftist loved Al Capp until his Joanie Phoanie character appeared.

You’ve got that right. Nothing but left crap in the local paper. I occasionally peruse one and can’t help but write the editor my feelings about it. I can’t wait to see the sign come down. I have at least managed to get the only subscriber I know to cancel.
Some time ago they harped on the downtown “food desert”. I wrote them that perhaps they should open a grocery in their giant downtown facility. Their response was only that they aren’t in the grocery business. Always someone else should do it….just like Martha’s Vineyard folks.

That and the fact there's been precious little actual reporting of actual news for some time.

At one time I was subscribed to three newspapers (the two major metropolitan dailies, for their oft-opposing views, and a more local paper) and two news magazines. Plus I'd watch local and network news.

Now I'm subscribed to absolutely nothing, and watch only local "news," mainly for the weather, because they no longer have anything worthwhile to offer.

In the long run it will make him richer, the ultimate fuck-you to the cowards.

Real humans with depth are allergic to bullshit, pandering, and intellectual cowardice.
