  • Adams Introduces Black Character into Dilbert, Gets Reactions

    From D.D.Degg@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 3 11:20:25 2022
    "Where to even start with this? The fact that Adams thinks
    waiting thirty-three years to introduce his first Black character
    could be viewed as anything but an embarrassment for him?"

    Others were upset that Scott used the introduction to
    take a shot at the trans population.

    But many found humor in the comic strip.
    Not the gag but that Scott added no shading to Dave resulting
    in a confusing appearance in many newspapers. https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2022/05/03/dilbert-presents-black-character-gets-dragged/

    As if I needed more reasons not to read him any more.

    Good explanation of "Ted Rall of Al Capps." That one had me
    scratching my head for a while. Is there a difference between
    the Ted Rall of Al Capps and the Al Capp of Ted Ralls?
