He's kind of a thin-skinned bitch that way. Used to listen to his podcast pretty regularly but got tired of him going off on randos. Just made him look pathetic and difficult to take seriously.
Leave it to modern society for someone who got famous for some drawing in the funny papers to lord himself over regular people that actually work for a living.
Who is though? Gary Larson was/is a once in a generation satirist. The Farside is just as relevant today as it was during publication because it was true original Americana.
Scott Adams, who has written and illustrated the popular comic since 1989, said Lee Enterprises stopped printing it this week. The media company owns nearly 100 newspapers throughout the United States.
"It was part of a larger overhaul, I believe, of comics, but why they decided what was in and what was out, that's not known to anybody except them, I guess," he told Fox News.
[...]
Adams noted that other comic strips were also permanently canceled but the decisions on which ones to get rid of were made individually.
"Dilbert" appears in thousands of newspapers across 57 counties in 19 languages, according to Adams' website.[...]
In recent years, Adams has poked fun at themes related to the workplace, most recently Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues and the introduction of a new character named "Dave," who is Black but identifies as White.
Newspaper comics isnt exactly a growth industry, so a continuous contraction makes sense. We are pretty much in a long tail state with ad supported print media.
Well, they've already pretty much migrated to the web, where they're free from the constraints of print media (ie, being limited to 1-4 panels, that have to be drawn in such a way that they can be shrunk considerably, for instance - and in fact, they shrunk a lot during their history, with the advent of Peanuts heralding a simpler comics style fit for being presented smaller in increasingly crammed features pages, which themselves shrank from three to one to half a page, in some papers.) But they'll probably still stay distinguishable from "online comic book" format by being just for short jokes, or short-form serialization with punchlines/cliffhangers, like when a strip would tell a story for a week or two (see: Bloom County: Night of the Mary Kay Commandoes for a classic comic strip story).
Dilbert will just have to adapt to that, and Adams and his agents are going to have to realize that the features syndicates will die with printed newspapers.
The good part is, perhaps there'll be some quality labours of love pop up once again (Krazy Kat, Peanuts itself) and bury the factory strips (like Hi and Lois and Beetle Bailey.)
That's nowhere near as many people as Scott Adams has removed from his comment sections and live chats for disagreeing with him.

Do you suppose comic strips will even be a thing once newspapers stop physical print? I have to wonder what will happen to that form.
I just realized in just a few years I'll have no cheap paper to protect my floors when I paint the walls.
Save your junk mail. I could paper my walls with the amount I get sent.

Imagine how much worse I'd be if he wasn't vaccinated!

Sad old boring cuck sad his boring cuck comic was removed for being unprofitable.
