'Dilbert' Was a Historical Artifact Long Before it Was Canceled
America’s most famous officer worker has been fired.
Hundreds of newspapers over the last week dropped “Dilbert,” the comic strip about the absurdities and mundanities of corporate life, after creator Scott Adams posted a racist rant. On his YouTube channel, Adams warned White people to “get the hell away from Black people” because the latter are part of a “hate group.”
I’ve never been a fan of Dilbert. There were a few good one-liners, but I didn’t need a comic strip to expose me to a mediocre white guy who thinks everyone else is the problem.

Those were the days of prominent actors such as Adebayo Faleti, Lere paimo, Baba Ogunde and the likes. During that period, your talent speaks not your money or name.

Get This MovieToday’s special-effects dudes work with computers and zillion-dollar budgets. Ray Harryhausen’s monsters and space ships were handmade, on a shoestring, then animated in frame-by-frame stop motion — the grueling process of a medieval craftsman. He created the giant octopus in the 1955 It Came from Beneath the Sea (where the budget was so skimpy that Harryhausen could afford to give the creature only six arms) and the sleek spaceships here.
