8 thoughts on “Scott Adams”

  1. The nature of Dilbert was distinctly different from other comics in the nature of its humor. Adams poked fun at fads and trends in the actual workplace based on real trends in society. Rather than developing social commentary from within a contrived universe of established characters isolated from society at large such as Peanuts or Calvin and Hobbes. It seems inevitable that with DEI being pushed into the workplace it would only be a matter of time before a Dilbert strip ran afoul of cancel culture. But by running a Vlog, Adams got ahead of the curve and managed to get himself cancelled early. I can remember how controversial it was when Schultz eventually wrote a black character into the Peanuts strip but only as a peripheral character with interactions confined to the safe space the Peanuts world represented. Dilbert may die out, certainly the traditional publication pathways and perhaps merchandising may dissolve, but the root cause will be because the humor no longer connects with readers. There are many comic examples of that.

  2. Gary Larson, of the “Far Side” cartoons, took over a two decade break. Scott could resume later. I hear he has a subscription site but I haven’t looked at it.

    As an aside, Max Cannon’s “Red Meat” is also very good and comparable in weirdness to “Far Side”.

  3. The roughly half of blacks polled who couldn’t definitively answer an unhesitant “yes” to the question “Is it okay to be white” are the only racists in this story.

  4. Forced desegregation was a tremendous failure. Many cultures and races tend to self-segregate, but curses and government persecution rains down on Whites who wish to do so.

    Plus, it is not out of the question that evil power players are promoting race war to keep the overall populace divided and conquered.

      1. In regards to being in newspapers {I don’t read them] but not shut down on the internet.
        But says lost his new book deal- which was planning to publish soon.
