To our readers,

As you may have noticed, the Daily Hampshire Gazette is no longer publishing the “Dilbert” comic strip from Scott Adams. We decided over the weekend to discontinue the cartoon in response to the cartoonist’s disparaging remarks about Black people during his online video show on February 22. Quite simply, we could no longer in good conscience provide a platform and financial support for his work. Subsequent to our decision, the syndicate that distributed his cartoon also severed its relationship with Adams. 

We will replace the comic strip in the near future and also plan to survey our readers regarding our comic strips more generally.
