Honestly if you read Adams blog posts in the last few years, it's quite surprising his comic strip was still being published.
I'd expect an aging author to become wiser and more understanding, Adams was getting more and more radical and the segregationist comments were just the straw that broke the camels back.
- olivermarks 4y agoAdams is a very successful book author as a well as being a syndicated cartoonist that has enticed a lot of people to buy newspaper subscriptions. The idea publishers would cancel him due to his blog and podcast opinions flies in the face of business logic. Local California newspapers are already full of junk, out of date establishment syndicated news stories and woke oped pieces written by junior journalism graduates who have strong radical progressive activist views and agendas. Reader comments (if allowed) tell a story of dissatisfaction in these publications. There is less and less reason to buy them. I think Dilbert is a terrific cartoon strip that punctures the pretense of large corporation human resources hubris. I don't care what the author of this cartoon strips views are. I'm not interested in what Charles Schultz (Peanuts) political views were either.
- newaccount74 4y agoThe views of the author show through, though. Recent strips are all about "woke millenials don't want to work" and other right wing facebook tropes. 20 years ago Dilbert strips were sometimes funny, the recent ones just aren't anymore.
