We intend to maintain that tradition in a way that is welcoming to all readers,” the LA Times said in a statement. “Dilbert” will run for the final time in the Post and the LA Times on Sunday as the Sunday comics sections are usually printed in advance. These newspapers join 77 others that dropped “Dilbert” last year, including the San Francisco Chronicle, after Adams introduced a Black character to the strip designed to mock “woke culture.”On Saturday, the Washington Post asked Adams how many newspapers still carry the strip. The strip was adapted into an Emmy-winning animated series that ran for two seasons on UPN in 1999 and 2000. Does anyone think that is bad advice?”But as the number of newspapers running “Dilbert” plummeted, Adams acknowledged on his livestream that he had done possibly irreparable harm to his career.
