The Daily Herald is joining newspapers across the nation in removing the 'Dilbert' comic strip from their comics pages. As the Associated Press and Washington Post reported Saturday, the creator of the comic strip, Scott Adams, defended remarks he made last Wednesday describing people who are Black as members of 'a hate group' from which white people should 'get away.'
The Daily Herald is joining newspapers across the nation in removing the"Dilbert" comic strip from their comics pages.
Andrews McMeel Syndication, which distributes Dilbert, did not immediately respond Saturday to various media's requests for comment. Asked how many newspapers still carried the strip, a workplace satire that Adams created in 1989, he told The Washington Post,"By Monday, around zero." The Anti-Defamation League says the phrase was popularized in 2017 as a trolling campaign by members of the discussion forum 4chan but then began being used by some white supremacists.
Adams also blamed Black people for not"focusing on education" during the show and said,"I'm also really sick of seeing video after video of Black Americans beating up non-Black citizens," The Washington Post reported. The Los Angeles Times cited Adams'"racist comments" while announcing Saturday that Dilbert will be discontinued Monday in most editions and that its final run in the Sunday comics -- which are printed in advance -- will be March 12, the AP reported.
