The popular “Dilbert” comic strip that parodies the trials and tribulations of office life is being pulled by nearly 80 publications where it regularly appeared, according to its author.
“Dilbert was cancelled in 77 newspapers this week,” cartoonist Scott Adams tweeted Tuesday.
The elimination of the 33-year-old strip appears to be one of many cuts made by Lee Enterprises, which is reportedly scaling back its cartoon pages overall. The reaction to Adams announcement on Twitter was divided between fans who will miss seeing “Dilbert” in their funny pages and critics who don’t find it funny.
