Dilbert strip offends those “not especially religious”
Skip to commentsLast week’s Dilbert created a stir among those “not especially religious” for a story-line mocking Jesus in the weeks leading up to Easter according to Dilbert creator Scott Adams on his blog. See beginning of story-arc.
This week’s series in Dilbert caused quite a stir. It featured a new guy in the office whose name is pronounced hay-soos and spelled Jesus. I drew those strips a few months ago, and in my typical careless way I didn’t realize they would be running around Easter time. Oops
The story-line involves a new hire, named Jesus, who heals Wally of his laziness and baldness, tries to recruit 12 others to save the databases. He is later betrayed by Wally and is “downsized” but brought back as a consultant to save other employee’s pensions.
Regardless of whether you believe they were funny or offensive (I lean toward the latter), I’m not sure I buy into Scott’s line about carelessly forgetting that they’d be running around Easter.
