‘Dilbert,’ Scott Adams lose distributor over racist remarks
"“Dilbert” creator Scott Adams experienced possibly the biggest repercussion of recent racist comments when a major comics syndicator, which also operates the GoComics website, announced Sunday it would no longer work with the cartoonist.
Andrews McMeel Universal said in a statement that the syndication company was “severing” their relationship with Adams. By Monday morning, Adams no longer appeared in searches on GoComics and “Dilbert” comics were gone from the website, which also features many top comic strips like “Peanuts” and “Calvin and Hobbes,” as well as political cartoons.
Dozens of newspapers, ranging from the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle and The Washington Post to smaller papers like the the Santa Fe New Mexican and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette — have said they would cease to publish “Dilbert.” The strip, which lampoons office culture, first appeared in 1989.
In a Feb. 22 episode of his YouTube show, Adams described people who are Black as members of “a hate group” from which white people should “get away.” Various media publishers across the U.S. denounced the comments as racist, hateful and discriminatory while saying they would no longer provide a platform for his work."
