Cartoonists are pushing back against racist remarks made by"Dilbert" creator Scott Adams, with one artist even using his own strip this week to lampoon the disgraced cartoon now dropped by newspapers nationwide.
"When somebody goes too far like Scott Adams did, everyone who knows better should stand up and use their First Amendment to draw a line -- to say that this is unacceptable," said Bell, whose new graphic novel"The Talk" explores growing up as a biracial man in white culture. Individual newspapers have dropped"Dilbert" and Adams' distributor, Andrews McMeel Universal, said it was severing ties with the cartoonist. While some outlets replaced"Dilbert" with another strip, The Sun Chronicle in Attleboro, Massachusetts, decided to keep the space blank through March"as a reminder of the racism that pervades our society."
Bell credited King Features Syndicate and his editors for allowing him to rip up the strips intended for this week and pivot to the"Dilbert" send-ups, an unusual request.
