Dilbert cartoon unpublished

colporteur

Recent comments by the creator Scott Adams have given ‘Dilbert’ distributor and book publisher a reason to drop the content.

I was and still am a fan of Dilbert cartoons. If you have worked in technology, the cartoons parody real life. The caricatures don't represent people I have met but the personalities are hard to ignore.

I will miss reading a comic strip and then reflecting on who reflects the prose. I've have seen them slip under people door to see if they get the hint.

  • Cartoons aside, I'm glad he has been dropped.
    It's not a free speech issue as far as I can tell either, since he is free to speak as much as he likes, but in world of capitalism where money speaks, organizations will (hopefully) simply will walk away rather than tarnish their brand. He can stand on a street corner and speak to anyone who wants to listen to him, since he has his free speech, same as anyone. He's no different because he's made millions.
    He's stated pretty shocking opinions about black people, and about women, from what little I've heard him speak of.

    (Can't edit) I have not read a newspaper in years so I've missed comic strips/puzzles (I'll have to download an app one day). The last comic book I read was 'V for Vendetta', which was awesome. I'd like to read the (Italian) Diabolik comic books if I ever came across them and if they were in English! And I have a soft spot for Tintin (and a bit for Asterisk; maybe these are a European thing?) (but have not read them since I was a kid :(
