Dilbert has gotten a pink slip and cartoonists have a lot to say about it.

Hundreds of American newspapers, the Columbus Dispatch and all others in the USA TODAY Network publication included, and a major comic distributor have announced they will stop running the widely syndicated comic strip Dilbert.

The news comes after Scott Adams, the strip's creator, described Black people as part of a "hate group" in a YouTube video, saying last week that the best advice he can "give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people.”

Fellow cartoonists weigh in on the controversy in editorials cartoons below.
