Scott Adams, Dilbert comic strip creator, dies at age 68 after battle with prostate cancer

Adams’ ex-wife, Shelly Miles, announced the news of his death during a live stream of his YouTube show, “Real Coffee with Scott Adams.” 

“I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has,” Scott Adams said last May in an episode of the show. “So, I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones.”

He made the announcement a day after Biden announced his own diagnosis. 

Dilbert the comic strip first appeared in 1989, poking fun at office culture. It ran for decades in numerous newspapers until 2023, when it was canceled by most newspapers over comments by Adams that various publishers denounced as racist, hateful and discriminatory.
