Scholastic terrorism strikes again, LOL. I'm just imagining what would happen to an average guy who gets fired, or receives what he regards as sub-par medical treatment, and then has his family/friends make threats against the people at his old job or threats to the hospital. Can you spell J-A-I-L?

"{SUIT GUY 3: If it’s any consolation, Scott, my grandma’s mad we’re not running Snuffy Smith any more."

LOL.

Of course, the truth is that Adams lost his mojo years ago. If the strip’s legit funny more than five times a year, that’s a lot these days.

As for Adams, he’s also going through the deepest cancelculture, the Rod Dreher syndrome of a wife who’s had her fill of her husband. Although now that I think about it, maybe it’s less that Mrs. Adams had her fill of her lucrative spouse and just sick of the strip not being funny.

Love that the suits are named after Donald's nephews. Your piece is realer than reality:

Actual Daily Mail headline: "Now Dilbert is racist! Popular comic strip is canned by 77 newspapers after artist Scott Adams began incorporating anti-woke plotlines"

Buried in story: "[Adams] told Fox News that some newspapers voiced concerns after receiving complaints about his comic content. But he could not say for sure if that had anything to do with the removal of 'Dilbert.'"

I read onetime where Dilbert Dude was richer than God which, to my mind, proved there was no God . This put me in a state of existential dread and confusion I remember I found this out around the same time I learned Milli- Vanilli were lip - syncing their vocals. That and the Dilbert thing were a one -two punch I don't think I've recovered from yet.

Being out of cell and WiFi range has its advantages, like getting to read Roy’s weekly output all in one go. I’m still thinking about the Schroedinger’s Queen in her casket and of course, Chris “Crisco” Christie, and now the moaning of Scott Adams who’s output has long been at the “Family Circus” level of relevance. For those of us who remember daily “Farside,” “Calvin and Hobbs” and of course “Pogo” strips, the question is, why do the best comic creators retire or die while Adams refuses to go away? Obviously, there is no God.

Threatening us with Tucker! Oh, no! We're done for ( if we were stupid enough to watch him).

Please tell me that those Andy Capp panels are not real comics.

Oh.

"Trump voters would be hunted down and killed"

See, it doesn't really matter that Trump voters were never "hunted down and killed", they AFEARED they would be "hunted down and killed", which is much, much worse for Trump voters to endure than actually, you know, being "hunted down and killed"...

I want to laugh but I forgot how. I mean, I got canceled and all I have to show for it is this fancy mustard.

Tell you the truth, I saw the middle panel of this Dilbert on "My Feed" on MSN yesterday and just thought "FUUUUUUUCK one goddamn joke".

Clicked through this morning and started to read the schmuck bait - *ahem*, comments. Got three in and hit the eject switch. Apparently cube work now means having to work by TRANS PEOPLE OH ICK while you compete with a lazy gay guy who "has no life" and therefore is free to work 80 hours a week. "Bio-Leninism" is involved, I understand.

BTW Jesus is Lord of the Dance.

I remember about 1998 or so, Dilbert was still mostly cute & occasionally clever, so I suscribed to his newsletter. And then I was immediately repelled -- this guy would repeatedly pass on obvious email hoaxes & conspiracy theories as fatuously as one could. "Prince of Nigeria needs my bank account number...? Yes sir, front & center!"

I cancelled him back then. Joker... and he's still here

BTW, Roy, this is a slice of fried gold all the way through. Sheer genius.

I was horrified at that Carlson bit -- meanwhile 85% of str8 porn content produced now is explicitly about incest, to be consumed by men who want blow up children's hospitals & kill drag queens...

So please tell me again how I'm the problem...
