Readers weighing in on U-T’s ‘Dilbert’ decision

“Hundreds of papers will stop running ‘Dilbert’”

(Feb. 27): As a longtime subscriber to your paper and a daily reader of the comics, I agree that the strip should be canceled.

Doing my research, I was shocked to hear Scott Adams’ YouTube rant where his bigotry and hatred was front and center.

As a child of Holocaust survivors, it was an emotional experience: one just had to substitute the word “Jews” for “Blacks” to understand his condemnation of a whole human race.

You took the correct action, and I’m glad you did.

I am not in agreement with your decision to discontinue publishing the “Dilbert” cartoon by Scott Adams.

Although Adams may have an unpopular and “politically incorrect” opinion of our current society, to

refuse to publish his work is, in my opinion, censorship.

I have been reading and enjoying his work for longer than 25 years and have seen nothing in his cartoons that I consider to be worthy of such a drastic action.

My compliments to the U-T for dumping “Dilbert” from the comic strip pages. It was certainly the right thing to do.

It’s amazing that the creator of that strip is now following the example of so many others who make blatantly racist or obscene comments and then try to cover themselves by saying they were taken out of context.

Sorry, we all understand the context perfectly well. Ken Ramsdell

Biden should have plagiarized John Kennedy’s speech when he told Nikita Khrushchev to stand down and remove his missiles from Cuba.

President Biden should have given President Kennedy’s Cuban Missile Crisis speech to Vladimir Putin when he was amassing his military on the Ukrainian border — before it attacked. Steven Quinn
