'Dilbert,' Scott Adams draw ire from fellow cartoonists

NEW YORK (AP) — 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.

Darrin Bell is transforming his strip “Candorville” — which usually features young Black and Latino characters — into a way to address Adams' racism by mimicking the look and style of “Dilbert,” complete with wayward necktie.

“The only reason anyone knows who Scott Adams is because of the comics page. So I thought somebody on the comics page should respond to him on the comics page,” Bell, the 2019 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for illustrated reporting and commentary, told The Associated Press.

In the strips running Monday to Saturday, Bell paired Dilbert with one of his own characters, Lemont Brown. In one, Dilbert hopes Lemont will side with him in his quest to get a laundry room installed at work.

1. Adams has been whining and snowflaking about this since it happened

blaming the "racist liberals" of all things.

I had to put him on ignore as I got so sick of his pity party popping up in my timeline.

3. In other words, Standard Operational Procedure for righties...

Act shocked when they find out there are consequences for acting like assholes, and proclaim themselves martyrs to the "intolerant left."
