The owners of the Dahl books went through them and made a bunch of edits for the new editions, trying to remove stuff (like his rabid hatred of fat people) that didn't fit with modern sensibilities.

It's not even the first time Dahl has been rewritten to remove some racist stuff, although back then it was less controversial because it was him doing the rewrites.

Anecdote time: when I worked at Random House Children's Books, a couple years after Dahl died we got a letter from a school class in California asking us to please remove the bit in James and the Giant Peach where the Old Green Grasshopper says, "I'd rather be fried and eaten by a Mexican!" We debated it around the office quite a bit but finally decided no, we couldn't unilaterally rewrite the book. Besides, chapulines are a thing.

Wilbur has a history of stalking. He stalked Tommy's mom for a while after breaking up with her for a much younger Brazilian woman.

The last few years he's really grown into a character people love to hate. Last year he got some mainstream attention by having a death fake-out story. Apparently the writer is tired of writing him but the syndicate keeps making her.

Elder god mind-fuckery confirmed permanent, I guess.

I feel like a running gag in "Cthulhu and Girl" is that Inaba's natural goodness and pure heart are the most powerful force in the universe. She overwhelmed Cthulhu's innate spirit and turned him into an adoring companion who uses his incredible power to help Inaba become an idol

Edit: the ending of the Sabao story is so cute. He takes the little apron with his name on it! And then he has a little party with his coworkers to celebrate his return and their decision to spare the earth

The big one from overnight was Gannett's USA Today Network, and I'm not 100% certain that that all 200+ of their local dailies were carrying Dilbert, but that's a number that's going to move the needle a bit if even a fraction of them did.
