Speaking in response to the current controversy, a comic strip character who wishes to remain anonymous stated, "Aaack!"

I see Adams is taking career advice from JK Rowlings.

That would be a great meta-joke. Even better if every Monday strip was a US Acres.

Here’s what never fails to amaze me. Why they feel the need to shout it.

Doesnt care but will certainly bitch and moan from now until he's in the grave.

for frustrated office workers it was a stress outlet. like most of that kind of humor the line eventually crosses from “relatable overworked guy who is grumpy with good cause” and “ meanspirited jerk who thinks he is smarter than everyone else” he became the pointy haired boss. and worse, he was an early techbro. i

If you think there's an issue with how Adams is represented, we'll all agree there's a problem, but not with the reporting.

THIS is what being cancelled looks like, by the way:

You know this the thing that never ceases to amaze me.  If I had a well paying job drawing cartoon characters and more or less being able to write them as I'd please, I would very much keep my head down and not spout off inane nonsense that will jeopardize said job.  Yet time and again people like this just can't help

Odie-ous. Sadly, this kind of thing has become the new Nermal.

Adams has been pretty much known to be a right-wing shit head for decades now, so a blatently racist video made by him should come as no surprise to anyone.

Are you familiar with Adams? This isn't uncharacteristic for him. His very, very, very far right. The type that complained Trump wasn't extreme enough 

Similarly, Garfield creator Jim Davis went on a disturbing, hate-filled rant about Mondays in a recent strip, which he then followed-up with an effusive essay about his favorite food lasagna.

Based on the pull quotes, I don’t think there’s some magical context that will make the braindead cartoonist’s virulent racism somehow lessened or explainable. Especially considering that we have a storied history of the braindead cartoonist being a right-wing shitheel.

The full context does not make it any better. He interprets some poll as proof that a majority of Black people have anti-White beliefs, calls them a hate group for it and says White people should stay away from Black people and that that’s why he lives in an area with little to no Black people.

don’t you dare presume to belittle me simply because I don’t think the same way you do

Your perennial reminder, re: engaging with transphobic trolls:

Yes, yes, conservatives don’t care at all about other people or what they think BUT HOW DARE YOU JUDGE THEM OR CRITICIZE THEM IN ANY WAY.

So, your standard for not being a transphobe is “wrote a gay character who didn’t groom his students.” Sounds about right.

“So tired of people labeling JK a transphobe”
