Funny you should say that.
I've just been to his Locals to see what today's comic is, and he's decided to make it supporters only. Looks like the first three milquetoast ones were a teaser.

That's the worst free preview ever.

Yeah, the first two would have been ok as an intro if he came in with a real zinger for the third. Something to make people go "what will he say next?". As it is, I'm not excited enough to find out.

Hahaha he made the weakest ever swipe at the Washington Post, I'll totally sign up for this.
I'm not expecting full on Wormwood style Hard R-ing or even Stonetoss but come on, at least be funny Scott.

the way to drip-feed a comic on locals is to have arcs, three to five strips long, and give the first two free, the last 3 paid
make it decent with a "hook" and you could get people subscribing

An author coddled by publishers for most of his career doesn't know how to do his own marketing, color me shocked.

He's an old boomer cuck; his comics won't get spicey at all.Why do I have a feeling this is just going to be baby's first redpill and then when he's got his sperging released, he'll just settle back into his old mindset? At the expense of sounding gay, mainstream comic authors don't have balls to do the shit Stonetoss does. I don't see these going anywhere. I admire everyone's optimism, though.
Ironic.

At best it will just be him bitching about cancel culture or something.

I generally enjoyed Dilbert, so this is an interesting development, but this intro strip is kind of crap compared to some of his other stuff.

how long until some "news" organization posts the famous "parody" strips as being what's behind the curtain on locals?

There's casual racism and there's competitive racism, which do you think Scott falls under?

I think we chuds have been spoiled by stonetoss who is undoubtedly the GOAT of political cartoons. This new dilbert is already painful to read and I think it will only go downhill from here. Maybe some fun will be had though if his work ends up as Chris Chan tier wish fulfilment/revenge fantasy porn. Already stoked for the comic strip dragging his ex wife through the mud.

Today’s Shillbert
It’s an alright joke, but I had to read it twice to even understand what it was saying. Having to write a paragraph of commentary for some of these strips is going to be hard if they stay as dull as this one. It feels like there has at least been a bit of an art upgrade though.

this feels like he's trying to be topical for all the mass layoffs, and just kind of ... failing?
Someone mentioned watching him draw these live on pericope or whatever he boomers on now, what was the lead time? If he's just putting these on Locals can't he do them same day or day before?

I don’t know what it has to do with layoffs. The joke is that he made a hologram to socialize for him.
Anyway I doubt he actually cranks one out every day. It’s pretty typical in newspaper comic for the writer to sit down once a month and do four weeks (or more) of strips. That’s what they did in the Spider-Man strip and that was definitely more high-effort than Dilbert.

It doesn't even make sense though. The punchline is that it was the holograph the whole time, but the opening bit is clearly not on topic of an apology. I hate having to try and comment on it, because it's clear I'm putting more thought into my analysis than he did the comic.
This actually reminds me of when I first stopped reading comics. Something happened in my brain where I just kept noticing that the punchline was only tangentially related to the comic. I don't know if that's fair criticism because that's what all comics do, but that's why I don't read the shits anymore.
I was more of a Slylock Fox fag anyway.

Literally "I'm projecting!" I can't believe that this hypnotist misses such obvious reads.

I think with Dilbert specifically it’s a combination of the humor not really evolving past the ‘90s (when he last worked an actual office job) plus just normal burnout.
Joshreads identified that Scott was already using a template back in 2005:
- Bureaucratic figure says something revealing incompetence, ignorance, and/or hostility, using latest MBA-spouted buzzword of the moment.
- Dilbert or another sympathetic character responds with a cynical yet keen and cutting observation revealing the evil and/or stupidity of his/her superior.
- Bureaucratic figure reacts with further hostility.
