Dilbert comic strip creator Scott Adams built a career based on his pointed and humorous views on the workplace. When it comes to describing his own current work environment, he summed it up on Sunday in two words: "train wreck."
Adams, who is White, is facing serious repercussions after his recent comments about race, with newspapers such the Los Angeles Times and the USA Today network as well as distributor Andrews McMeel Universal announcing Sunday they would no longer work with the cartoonist or run his strip.
Adams, who quickly took to YouTube on Sunday to defend himself, disclosed details in the video about the impact of losing business. Adams said he is likely to lose 80% of his income from Dilbert due to the cancellations and expressed uncertainty about his future publishing career, which includes compilations of the comic strip as well as calendars and nonfiction books such as "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big."

On any red carpet, Selena Gomez is the picture of beauty, poise and confidence. But she'll be the first to tell you that things aren't always what they appear.
