Fans of the popular comic strip “Dilbert” were dealt a heartbreaking blow on Tuesday.
“Dilbert” comic strip creator Scott Adams announced that the comic strip has been canceled in 77 newspapers, according to his Twitter.
Many white-collar workers identify with the main character, Dilbert, who is frustrated with corporate America. The comic strip blends present-day, government-issued policies and pokes fun at the way it causes challenges in the workplace.
Adams has been writing and illustrating the comic since 1989. He told Fox News that Lee Enterprises stopped printing it this week — so much for freedom of speech.
“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,” Adams said.
