Express-News drops ‘Dilbert’ because of creator’s comments about Black Americans

Feb. 25, 2023Updated: Feb. 27, 2023 11:33 a.m.

The San Antonio Express-News is dropping the comic strip “Dilbert” because of hateful and discriminatory public comments by its creator, Scott Adams.

In his online video show, Adams recently made numerous disparaging remarks about Black Americans. These statements are offensive to our core values. Dropping a comic strip from our pages is not censorship. Adams is entitled to his opinions. The Express-News is not obliged to give him a platform and financial support.

Because the comics section is published in advance, we cannot withdraw it from our pages immediately. Readers will find it in their Saturday and Sunday papers. But as of Monday, “Dilbert” will no longer appear in the Express-News.
