I watched the youtube clip where Scott Adams did his racist star turn, and another where he "explained" himself.

It seemed clear that he knew he would lose the strip. He was quite deliberate about it.

More like a career move than an outburst. Planned cancelling.

Not the quiet part said out loud, but the loud part delivered quietly and calmly.

@jayrosen_nyu @mmasnick I do wonder if it will emerge that the decline in newspapers running Dilbert over the last year was going to result in his publisher dropping him anyway. Maybe he gave up a year or two of shrinking revenue for a *great* advertisement for his book (in stores this fall!)
