Why replace Dilbert comic?

I see you’ve replaced Dilbert with Crabgrass. Nothing against Crabgrass since I’m not familiar with it, but why did you replace one of, if not the best comics you had. Why not replace Fort Knox, which is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.

(Editor’s note: Below is the statement from Andrews McMeel, which syndicated the strip. It’s from the company chairman and CEO/president.

“Andrews McMeel Universal is severing our relationship with Dilbert creator Scott Adams. The process of this termination will extend to all areas of our business with Adams and the Dilbert comic strip.

“As a media and communications company, AMU values free speech. We are proud to promote and share many different voices and perspectives. But we will never support any commentary rooted in discrimination or hate. Recent comments by Scott Adams regarding race and race relations do not align with our core values as a company.

“Our creator-first approach is foundational to AMU, and we deeply value our relationships with our creators. However, in the case with Adams, our visions and principles are not compatible.”
