‘Dilbert’ Cartoonist Scott Adams Passes Away at 68

Scott Adams, the creator of the long-running comic strip Dilbert, has died at the age of 68 after battling prostate cancer that had spread to his bones and left him paralyzed. Adams rose to prominence in the late 1980s, with Dilbert appearing in thousands of newspapers at its peak. In his final days, he entered hospice care and recorded what he believed might be his last podcast episode. His legacy remains complex, shaped by both his cultural impact and later controversies that led many outlets to drop the strip in 2023.
