Default Is Dilbert comic strip being removed?

Well according to latest news YES. Seems as though Wokeness strikes Dilbert. Personally I have always tried to catch it each day for years. Wonder if The Sun is one of the 77?

Dilbert' author Scott Adams says comic strip about corporate office culture removed from 77 newspapers
Scott Adams has authored 'Dilbert' since 1989 but said newspaper owner Lee Enterprises has ended the comic in dozens of its publications.

Dilbert" appears in thousands of newspapers across 57 counties in 19 languages, according to Adams' website. The comic strip has been one of the most popular for many years and more than 20 million "Dilbert"-themed books and calendars have been printed.

In recent years, Adams has poked fun at themes related to the workplace, most recently Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues and the introduction of a new character named "Dave," who is Black but identifies as White.

Dave, who is named after Adams' brother, is a prankster who likes to mess with the boss, who is happy he has met his diversity quota, Adams said of the cartoon.
