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.

The author isn't blaming wokeness. You stopped your copy/paste of the article too soon. You didn't include this paragraph: He said some newspapers voiced concerns after receiving complaints about the content, but he was not sure if that had anything to do with the removal of "Dilbert." As for whether the Daily Sun is one of the 77, you don't have to wonder you just have to look it up. According to the Lee Enterprises website they don't have any brands in Florida.
