Once whetted, the appetite of the woke beast is insatiable. But one senses it is nearly sated in its hate feast against Scott Adams. How do you imagine the woke beast? It is rough, surely, and slouches towards some unprofitable venue, so not Bethlehem. I think of it as something ravenous but episodic in its appetites, a sort of Polyphemus for hire. It gorges in a destructive frenzy and then retreats to some dank corner to belch and sleep and slobber. The world, appalled by the spectacle of its rampage, instantly begins making excuses for its viciousness—were not its victims somehow to blame?

When I was working in 'Cubical City' there were more Scott Adams strips tacked to our walls than family pictures.

I'm of Hispanic extraction and I avoid heavy concentrations of Latins, blacks, white motorcycle gangs, etc.
I don't care for hoodlums of any color.

The wicked media punishes this man, but ignores Fauci, a mass murderer.

"It is true, by the way, that 'everyone agrees' with the point that Adams made. Everyone knows it is true..."

In most office environments, "Dilbert" was more of a staple than actual staples.

I noticed that our local fish wrap quickly replaced Dilbert. It looks like they made the cartoon above it bigger to fill both spots.
Used to be I got the two local metro papers, seven days a week, plus my small town paper five days a week. Even read the Wall St. Journal as well. The local paper is down to two days a week. Ended the WSJ a long time ago. The two local metro papers are now down to one. And now they print the paper in a city 200 miles away. Instead of getting it 7 days a week, I just get it on Sunday. And often I wonder why. Even the grocery coupons aren't as good as they used to be.
Used to be it would take an hour or more to read the Sunday paper. Now, the Sunday paper is basically a late edition of the Saturday paper, because if it happens after about 10 am Saturday, it's too late for the press to print it 200 miles away and truck it to the metro area for distribution. Takes about 30 minutes TOPS to go through all the paper and I think the one section I read the most is the Obituaries. The "opinion section," which used to be a section of its own as opposed to two or three pages at the end of the front section has turned into a "Hate Trump - Hate Republicans - We need Gun Control because those kids were shot in Uvalde" section that takes about 6 seconds to read and discard.

When I worked in a cubical farm events in the strip followed events in my office by about three weeks, someone suggested that I was in fact Scott Adams

I gave up on the local papers years ago. They were nothing but leftist rags that raised my blood pressure. I tried to subscribe to the local paper's "Sunday only" option, then got the paper every day but Wednesday. The dailys just went straight into the garbage can. I let the subscription lapse, only to have it continue for another month, then the local paper tried to bill me for issues I didn't ask for and just threw away. When I refused to pay that bill, they sent me a letter acknowledging that they sent it "as a courtesy" and then told me what when I wanted to resubscribe I would have to pay that balance. They're still waiting....

#5 and 7: Adams worked at Pacific Bell according to Wikipedia. I worked for Ma Bell too, and we always felt he was 'one of us', as the cartoons were so similar to our working environment.

That everyone walks in lockstep speaks volumes.

My newspaper has more of a conservative bent, but they cancelled Dilbert. I only read a few comic strips and hadn’t followed Dilbert, but I am ordering some of his books. He sounds like a jewel who tells the truth.

The guy is a hero and truth teller. Deserves a medal. It is not racist, it is factual common sense to stay safe.

The Dilbert web site is still up and you can still catch the latest comic there, as well as all the old ones searchable by date or keyword.
Funny how nobody has yet said he was wrong.

Me too #9. I often expected to see my group in one of his strips.

Our local rag today announced it was replacing "Dilbert" with "Curtis." A lockstep, cowardly and racist move.
