Scott Adams, Dilbert Creator/Trumper Croaked

Scott Adams, the creator of the long-running comic strip Dilbert and an author and commentator whose work reached millions, has died at age 68 following a battle with metastatic prostate cancer. Adams had publicly disclosed his diagnosis in 2025, explaining that the cancer had spread to his bones and that his condition was terminal. In recent weeks, he told followers that he was receiving hospice care at his home in Northern California.

I saw the letter. He died too young. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and I hope he's at peace.

I remember reading a comic that his publisher talked him out of going forward with. Might have been just the text.

Something about a coworker talking about how they liked to work harder than they needed to, I think. The response was that was like bragging about winning a gold at the Special Olympics.
