Did we ever see an explanation for why the guy is also wearing a turtle shell? At least a panel that shows him buying one?

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

This would be a great joke in a better comic

Finally, I've caught up on this thread! I fell like fifteen pages behind and it's so tough to get back to the current stuff...anyway!


Oh no, my mind immediately went to "the turtles are going to accuse these two of cultural appropriation" or something similar. I really hope that's not where this is going.

All he had to do was shut the gently caress up and he could have made comics until the day he died and been remembered with the same fondness as people will remember Jim Davis.

There are legit so many people asleep at the switch when it comes to newspaper content because lmao newspapers and nothing is generally happening and they're not getting any specific feedback from readers about stuff they can actually do anything about. Like it's newspapers, they're slowly dying but also nothing broadly bad is happening in them and because the readership is diminishing they don't get the same breed of people who are willing to complain and call things out anymore so they don't need to necessarily perform the quality control they should, y'know? Now, that said, this means that the moment that anything actionable happens and more than 2 people complain about it they will wake the gently caress up and try to solve the problem. 9 Chickweed needed the use of a slur for them to hit that bastard with a hammer but in the case of Mark Trail it took Vargo having specific types of Twitter followers in newspapers who realized "it's bad Jamesallen is sexually harassing a politician on Twitter". Adams has sucked a ton of rear end for a long time but he's basically just told on himself hard enough that you don't need any quality control or warning systems to know he has to be shot out of cannon into the sun.

And there you are. Dilbert has disappeared completely from GoComics.

He's still self-hosting his output, though, which makes me a little scared that we're about to get a "FINALLY, NO FILTER!" version.

He probably could have stopped making new comics and just reran his poo poo indefinitely and continued to make a fortune.

hey bebe



For whatever it was worth - and I've repeated this in this thread a few times - the only Dilbert comics I've seen for most of the past 25-years were in the page-a-day calendar, where this vile stuff seems to be curated out. Not sure how much of it leaked into the papers...so maybe that's part of the reason it hung on as long as it did.

I remember when Johnny Hart was also funny, back in the 70s. Then he went down the born-again rabbit hole. Sad.

Well, gently caress 'em.
