Newspapers are dropping the ‘Dilbert’ comic strip after creator Scott Adams launched into a racist tirade advising his followers to ‘get the f**k’ away from black people.
Gannett, the largest newspaper publisher in the US, said it would stop publishing the comic immediately following the remarks made by its creator on his online show ‘Real Coffee with Scott Adams.’
It comes after Dilbert was already canned by 77 newspapers in September due to its increasingly controversial plotlines including one about a black character who identifies as white.
This is the absolute truth what @ScottAdamsSays is saying here. He had to have known that all the coward newspapers would drop his Dilbert comic strip. I admire Scott Adams for doing it anyway. pic.twitter.com/sy0vhHutV2
