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?
What gets me is how the media treats so much of this as normal. Doesn't EVERY president lead an insurrection to overthrow the government? Doesn't EVERY president threaten violence in the streets? Doesn't EVERY president steal classified material and keep it in the janitor's closet?
It's all just Trump being Trump, LOL, and whadya gonna do, eh?
As for Scott Adams and his glibertarian March of Morons, his sell-by date was somewhere around 1999.
“It was a beautiful shooting, the most perfect shooting ever. And The Deep State and the Fake News Media want to have me arrested. I tell you, these guys, they won’t stop until they silence me, and you, the American Patriots.” (kisses and humps American flag, exits stage left)
I dunno, seems like threatening a member of Congress, a poll worker or a teacher over the phone carries about a one-in-a-thousand chance of prosecution. Not sure why, are phone calls really that untraceable these days?
Hey if it lasts about 5 more years GA will be the longest running comic of all time, passing the Katzenjammer Kids. In about a month, it will celebrate its 102 year
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.'"
The Invisible Stark Fist of Capitalism now requires news to be profitable, papers decide to economize by dropping "useless" content like comics, and something something "cancel culture".
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.
But if God doesn't exist than anyone with money is richer than God. Dilbert used to use submissions of stupid things that happened at work to his readers, but IIRC he always said the company was right
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.
Speaking of Bernstein - (ok- it's been a few days but I'm old and we're allowed to run a few days behind) this turned up in my you-tube queue and it''s terrific.
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"...
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.
Holy Crap! Does He tap? Buck & wing? Bet He's light on His feet...Edit to add maybe I should just switch to all caps from now on if we're gonna get all ecclesiastical-like...
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
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...

Adams probly wonders "How come Bill Watterson gets off scot-free* for his Pissing Calvin truck stickers??!!"**
*Damn. I just now get it. Damn.
**Scott, pro tip: Watterson did not do those. Only jerks like you think he did.
"Fulfilling a campaign promise, former President Donald Trump shot someone on 5th Avenue today..."
I mean, I could almost see it, couldn't you?
"I didn't incite! I was incited!"
"I shot him... with a good American gun... beautiful... you should have seen it... no person murdered ever better..."
(oh, ick, I can hear his voice saying this in my head)
I feel the same way, he's in my head and HE AIN'T COMIN' OUT.
“It was a beautiful shooting, the most perfect shooting ever. And The Deep State and the Fake News Media want to have me arrested. I tell you, these guys, they won’t stop until they silence me, and you, the American Patriots.” (kisses and humps American flag, exits stage left)
"They won't just prosecute ME when I shoot people, they're coming after YOU when YOU shoot people."
Promises made, promises kept!
Speaking of terrible comic strips, whatever happened to "Day by Day"?
Maybe Muir finally learned how to draw, and then his fans turned on him?
Actually it is still going as a webcomic according to Wikipedia
I dunno, seems like threatening a member of Congress, a poll worker or a teacher over the phone carries about a one-in-a-thousand chance of prosecution. Not sure why, are phone calls really that untraceable these days?
"{SUIT GUY 3: If it’s any consolation, Scott, my grandma’s mad we’re not running Snuffy Smith any more."
2 marks.
Last I looked, "Gasoline Alley" was still going. Frightening.
Hey if it lasts about 5 more years GA will be the longest running comic of all time, passing the Katzenjammer Kids. In about a month, it will celebrate its 102 year
And the Woke Capitalists at King Features Syndicate want to change it to Lithium Alley. Why, it's an outrage!
LOL.

Ima blame Cancel Culture for my town no longer having a passenger rail terminal.
Reading the third book of Grant Morrison's "The Invisibles" and just passed two scenes where Donald's nephews are mentioned.
Frickin' coincidences...
Another coincidence theorist!

"Next slide." Heh heh.
In a related development, Blockbuster Video store owner claims store's closure retaliation for direct-to-DVD copy of Atlas Shrugged.
Well, to be fair, ANY reproduction of that hot mess should be grounds for shunning and ultimately deportation some planet far, far away...

The Family Circus vs Dilbert mashup:
MOMMY: Who wrote this terrible comic?
BILLY/SCOTT: Not Me!
This might change your mind http://www.nietzschefamilycircus.com
I love the Nietzsche Family Circus! As much as I like the Peanuts strips with lyrics from The Smiths.
A marked improvement! Probably even better in the original German
It took Germans to recognize the darkness within.
So that explains why the German sci fi Netflix series was called “Dark.” It all makes sense now!
Also, too: Calvin and Muad'dib

One of my first fave internet things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysfunctional_Family_Circus
That makes me feel old!
That's funny shit!

Usually the best quit when they start having trouble coming up with good ideas as they were good enough to make plenty of money and aren't greedy
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.
You mean they are?
Altered for satirical purposes, but yea Andy was a wife-beater.
Well, Andy used to beat Flo, that much is clear
"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.
I poop on your 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".

"mostly cute & occasionally clever" sorta reminds me of Ronnie Schell: "America's slowest-rising young comedian"
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...
Entirely too reasonable, pragmatic and gristly.
