Right wingers don’t let things like this die.

In my local paper, they moved “Dilbert” from the comics page to the Business section, then recently to the inside of the front page. When they finally dropped it this past October, it took me a couple of weeks to realize it was gone…

MAGAts should realize that ‘expression of opinions’ has consequences….

He should have stuck with office humor. One of his classics from around 1980 was of Dilbert holding a huge paper document and talking on the phone. He was explaining a series of IT problems. that wouldn’t allow him to send his report online or via fax and therefore, since it was due, he was going to read it over the phone.

At the time that cartoon came out, the division I worked in was borrowing space in another organization’s building on an Army base and networks were ‘new’. The two organizations and the base all had separate networks. Also, while we each had our own desktop computer, we didn’t have software on them — it had to be downloaded every time we used it. That meant we would open the software and wait. Unfortunately, it sometimes took so long to download that one of the networks would time out and we would have to start over. We had a printer in our area; but to print out a document from our computer, we would have to download the software to open the document and then “print.” The print command would go from the computer to the building’s network and then over the base’s network and to my organization’s network and then back again. It was faster to read the document off the screen over the phone. That Dilbert cartoon stayed on our bulletin board until we moved back to our own building.

I will try to remember the office humor and forget the rest. RIP Dilbert.

I enjoyed Dilbert when it first started because of the office humor. I worked in an office and it was so relatable. After a few years or so, I found it drifted to where it was no longer funny. I quit reading it then.

Good point, Good ’Toon. I wonder how many other cartoon strips will follow. If these Cartoon Characters had a mind of their own, they would tell their Creators a thing or two!

In this case please refer to it as “self cancel culture”. Long time coming but was inevitable

the GQP has Made America Racist Again and the cult loves it

What about Dogbert?

The First Amendment guarantees our right to free expression and free association, which means that THE GOVERNMENT does not have the right to forbid us from saying and writing what we like. The First Amendment allows us to speak our mind and stand up for what we believe in.

However, we are not allowed to use to speech for force, fraud, or defamation. We can’t holler “fire” in a crowded theater unless there is actually a fire.

And having free speech does not mean that anyone has to listen or that the media has to provide a platform for it. The media has the right to decide what comics, puzzles, programs, etc. they air.

and Wally is out of a job and lost his source of eBay income selling office supplies

You still can’t speak the truth in this woke liberal hell

What did the guy say?

Look at that- the news downloaded and printed out for you! What’ll they think of next?
