  As much as I love Dilbert, I'd have preferred if it had ended around 2016-ish. The later Dilberts may have been "timeless" (in the sense that the belief system where minorities are out to get you and kindness is a sin is over a hundred years old), but they certainly weren't "spot on". Some of them had valid points about how corporate "inclusivity" is often nothing of the sort – a trend dating back to the US civil rights era (see: Letter from Birmingham Jail), which I expect to continue for a hundred years yet – but surrounded by panels and panels of the characters smirking at each other about woke liberal madness as fantastical caricatures play out in front of them, that insight was… somewhat obscured. Earlier Dilbert, though? Many of the stories were sent in by readers and fans, but wow did Scott Adams adapt them well to the comic medium. It's a real shame how he ended up, and I hope he gets better soon.
