Goodbye, Dilbert (at least for the time being)

For those who don't know, Dilbert is an American comic strip written and illustrated by Scott Adams, first published on April 16, 1989. It is known for its satirical office humor about a white-collar, micromanaged office with engineer Dilbert as the title character. [Wikipedia]. I've been following it for years, sometimes very much enjoying it and sometimes finding it boring. A week or so ago, Scott Adams made remarks that were construed as racist and so many newspapers have dropped his comic. The strips were still appearing on Dilbert's web site - at least, until yesterday. Now he has disappeared. 

So as a reminder, I am pasting here a strip from a few days ago, that is very appropriate to my situation.
