A popular comic strip has been canned by 77 newspapers after its creator Scott Adams started incorporating anti-woke plotlines, including a character black that identifies as white.
Adams' much-loved 'Dilbert' comics have been in circulation since 1989 and frequently poke fun at office culture, but he announced he was sensationally dropped by publisher Lee Enterprises.
The media company owns nearly 100 newspapers across the country - including The Buffalo News, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the Arizona Daily Sun - and has been publishing Adams' jokes about the corporate ladder for years.
One of his most recent controversial comic strips included a black worker, who identifies as white, being asked to also identify as gay to boost his company's environmental, social, and governance ratings.
Dave, his reoccurring character, replies: 'Depends how hard you want me to sell it,' before the boss responds: 'Just wear better shirts.'
Adams, 65, is believed to be worth nearly $70million - a fortune he amassed thanks to the popularity of his characters, as well as his non-Dilbert related works.

I have to guess that Adams wants to end the grind of a daily strip like the guys who did “The Far Side” and “Calvin and Hobbes” wanted to but he wanted to go out in a blaze of glory rather than simply fading away. So scorched earth it is. These strips are fantastic at illustrating the absurdity of this woke culture. And he’s smart enough to know that the left will HAVE to cancel him for it. The cannot take ridicule, it’s like a crucifix to a vampire.
Using your God given rights to free speech can now cost you everything.
Yes—I listen to Scott Adams’ podcast every day and I think he wants to go out in a blaze of glory rather than fading away, yes.
It’s a good podcast; I recommend it. I listen to “balance” the other podcase I listen to daily, Steve Bannon’s War Room.
That was hilarious!
Holy cow, wokeness has given him a newly discovered gold mine of material.
Yep. I’ve seen his podcasts on Youtube. Really smart guy.
THATS FREAKIN' HILARIOUS
ROFL!!!
he is too good
he is not going away
mocking works
He wanted Kamala to be President.
He said so in his coffee chats way back during the Democrat debates BEFORE the 2020 election.
He's also for communal living. He doesn't call it that, but that's what he described in his plan.
He hasn’t been in a corporate environment for decades at this point, yet he still has an instinctive feel for believable corporate stupidity/absurdity.
Adams is the best. And the best humor is based on truth, so he scores bulls eyes there. Go Scott, go! Leftists are such ‘tards.
Remember Dave Chappelle playing a blind black man who joined the KKK????? That was hilarious....
It’s great to have F-You money in today’s woke world
He always says he’s “left of Bernie” but he’s way too logical to be a leftist. He analyzes every issue and ends up agreeing with MAGA and the GOP on almost everything in the end.
He did admire Harris years ago but now thinks she must have brain damage since she can no longer communicate in public effectively.
I wouldn’t describe him as a “douche with a screw loose” but rather an intelligent quirky interesting guy worth listening to.
Clayton Bigsby. OMG, too funny.
So... How can we support Scott Adams for speaking truth to power?
