News of Adams' death was shared Tuesday through his livestream, Coffee With Scott Adams, where a prewritten final message dated January 1, 2026, was read aloud. In the message, Adams wrote that his "body failed before my brain," emphasizing that he was of sound mind when writing it. He reflected on his life, his work, and the people who supported him, and encouraged readers who benefited from his work to "pay it forward." "Be useful," Adams wrote, describing the principle he hoped would define his legacy.

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.

I like to trip the special Olympians before they cross the finish line. ;>)
