MLive is pulling longtime cartoon because it's out of step with our values

MLive is yanking his comics effective immediately.

Because some newspaper comic sections are preprinted, readers may see “Dilbert” for a week or two. It will be removed from online viewing options as soon as we can work with our vendor to drop it. And, we will work quickly to find a replacement that will entertain you and not violate basic standards of decency and respect for others.

I will not characterize Adams’ racist views or even provide a link to the video. If you are curious enough to subject yourself to that garbage, I’m sure your search engine or social media will guide you to it. My advice: Save yourself the poison.

    Wait, Scott Adams, the guy who wrote a novel wherein the sequel all the Muslims in the world are gathered in one location and then nuked is a racist? Who could've seen this coming?!

    EDIT: Also he published this book in 2004

      One review observes:

      The second novella, a follow-up titled The Religion War, describes a civilizational conflict in 2040 between a violent caliphate in the Middle East and a Christian alliance in the West. The hard-nosed hero builds a wall around the jihadists and “essentially kills everybody there,” Adams told me. “I have to be careful, because I’m talking about something pretty close to genocide, so I’m not saying I prefer it, I’m saying I predict it.

      :what-the-hell:

    uhg my roommate got a Dilbert calendar thing for Christmas. I already knew Scott Adams was a moron but I didn't know how unfunny Dilbert was until it was in my face every morning.
