‘Dilbert’ creator Scott Adams has died at the age of 68 after losing his battle with cancer
Dilbert Creator Scott Adams has died at the age of 68 after a battle with cancer, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The author and conservative commentator’s death was announced by his ex-wife, who claimed just hours earlier that her former husband “had only days left to live” in a chilling update.
Adams received end-of-life care at home months after being diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer.
The artist, from New York, was best known for his creations Dilberta satirical comic strip featuring an office worker and his dog, from 1989.
And as he announced his passing, his ex-wife Shelly Miles read his final letter to fans during a livestream of his podcast: Real coffee with Scott Adams.
She revealed that he converted to Christianity on his deathbed and read a letter to his listeners.
“If you’re reading this, I wasn’t doing well,” Miles said.
‘I have a few more things to say before I go.
“My body failed before my brain. I am of sound mind as I write this on January 1, 2026.
“If you are wondering about my choices about my legacy or anything else, please know that I am free from any form of undue influence. I promise.’
In the letter, Adams wrote that his Christian friends told him to find Jesus before his death.
“I don’t believe in it, but I have to admit that the risk-reward calculation for this seems so attractive to me,” he wrote.
“So here I go. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and look forward to spending an eternity with Him.’
Adams ended the religious announcement by saying, “I hope I am still eligible to participate.”
Weeks before his death, he issued an ominous health update on the same podcast.
He told listeners that the chances of him recovering were zero.
“I’ll give you updates if that changes, but it won’t,” he said.
“So there’s no chance of me regaining feeling in my legs, and I’m in constant heart failure, which sometimes makes it difficult to breathe during the day.
“However, you should prepare yourself for the fact that January will probably be a transition month in some way.”
In November last year, Donald Trump said he would help Adams with his cancer treatment.
Adams wanted the health care provider Kaiser Permanente to schedule his radiation therapy treatment with Pluvicto.
The artist said the drug would give him a “fighting chance” to survive a little longer.
Trump responded to Adams’ plea and said he would help him.
Dilbert came to an abrupt end after Adams made shocking comments about race in America while responding to a poll asking whether respondents agreed that it was “OK to be white.”
In the poll, 26 percent of black respondents disagreed with the statement, and 21 percent wrote that they were unsure.
An outraged Adams then declared that black people were a “hate group,” saying, “The best advice I would give to white people is to get the fuck away from black people.”
At the time, The Washington Post bosses interpreted Adam’s comments as promoting segregation and had his comic strip removed from their paper, while many others followed suit.
In a podcast released after the tragedy, Adams defended himself and clarified that he was using exaggerations when he said “hate group.”
He said: ‘Most of my income will be gone by next week.
‘My reputation for the rest of my life has been destroyed. You can’t come back from this, right?’
