The Times has decided to stop publishing “Dilbert.” Cartoonist Scott Adams made racist comments on a live YouTube stream on February 22, offensive remarks that The Times dismisses. Additionally, The Times has printed a repeat of the comic four times in the past nine months when the new Daily Strip did not meet our standards. But because Sunday comics are printed in advance, “Dilbert” will appear last in the March 12 newspaper. The Comic Pages should be a place where our readers can engage with societal issues, reflect on human existence, and enjoy a few laughs. We intend to continue this tradition in a way that welcomes all readers.
