A popular comic strip has been canned by 77 newspapers after its creator Scott Adams started incorporating anti-woke plotlines, including a black character who identifies as white.
Adams’ much-loved ‘Dilbert’ comics have been in circulation since 1989 and frequently pokes fun at office culture, but he announced he was sensationally dropped by publisher Lee Enterprises.
The media company owns nearly 100 newspapers across the country – including The Buffalo News, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the Arizona Daily Sun – and has been publishing Adams’ jokes about the corporate ladder for years.
One of his most recent controversial comic strips included a black worker, who identifies as white, being asked to also identify as gay to boost his company’s environmental, social, and governance ratings.
Dave, his reoccurring character, replies: ‘Depends how hard you want me to sell it,’ before the boss responds: ‘Just wear better shirts.’
Adams, 65, is believed to be worth nearly $70million – a fortune he amassed thanks to the popularity of his characters, as well as his non-Dilbert related works.
Another satire, posted on Monday, showed the same character in charge of the fictional firm wondering how he can open a new factory without contributing negatively to the environment.
As a solution to stop him being bashed by ‘woke’ commentators, the boss concludes that he’ll add a non-binary worker to his board to increase diversity.
Adams’ satirical strips feature in newspapers across 57 countries, and in 19 languages – and there are over 20 million Dilbert books and calendars in print.
The character Dave, named after the creator’s brother, is a prankster who messes with his boss, Adams said.

Scott Adams?
Soft.
Try Owen Benjamin.
That’ll get your ire up.
Robin Williams started the jokes about gays having better dress sense and it is not anti-gay. A Black identifying as White does not really fit here, because his biology would be what counts, but the Left are only fighters and have no sense of humour, or about as much as Mike Tyson during a fight
In your face planned demolition of western culture as society circles the middle rung of the toilet bowl swiftly towards the drain. Good luck to all!!!
“Woke” is what you get when society hits the kill-switch on original thought.
Thanks to Fentanyl and Viagra and weed, “woke” means you know how to use social media to flash-mob a 7-11, not caring that Circle-K is closer.
(((the media company)))
“Cartoonist Scott Adams said that some newspapers voiced concerns after receiving complaints about his comic content” You know, there’s just way, way to much concern over “voiced concerns”. Just ignore the stupid beggars and continue with what’s right, which in this case is to continue publishing the cartoons.
@michaelpaulbo: before “woke” was “affluenza,” that is, privileged whites who let their children (Eric Crouch being the most notorious) commit murders and other crimes with no consequnce since they had the money to bribe judges, DAsm etc. Knowing this, folks like Sorrya$$ get with these narcisstists to get this “woke” agenda going warp speed. Without Affluenza, there would be no “woke.” Minorities didn’t start “woke”–rich whites did…to keep blacks, etc. on the plantation!
Lewis Jones is wrong when the says that a black “identifying” as a white would not matter. Today we’re told that ALL that matters is who (or what) people “identify” with so it would make the black who identifies white into white.
Lady Val–a politician in Britain got into trouble for trying to be extra-woke and calling our new Chancellor a coconut, a word of their own, meaning Brown only on the outside, as in Uncle Tom. Being White, this politician got accused of being, of course, racist. You can’t win here. If I called the Chancellor a coconut it would mean he is a stupid little nut; I would not attempt to get into politics with all the slimy traitors
