Skip to comments
Today, Dilbert creator Scott Adams announced in an online video that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. In the video, Adams was discussing Former President Joe Biden’s recent cancer announcement, expressing sympathy for the former first family.
Adams also shared that his condition has become painful and intolerable, forcing him to rely on a walker to get around. “I can tell you I don’t have any good days. Every day is a nightmare, and evenings are even worse,” he said. He added that most of his days are spent “[slipping] in and out of sleep, waiting for the next day.” Despite his condition, he hopes to continue his morning show, Coffee With Scott Adams, for as long as possible.
n his post on X/Twitter, Adams also disclosed that his cancer is terminal and that he expects to “check out from this domain sometime this summer.” Although Adams did not specifically mention plans to use California’s End of Life Option Act—which permits physician-assisted euthanasia for those with terminal and intolerable conditions—he noted that he supported the law during its debate in 2016 and acknowledged that his condition meets its criteria. “It’s kind of civilized in that you know about how long you have so you can put your affairs in order, say your goodbyes, and do the things you need to do,” he said. He added that if you had to pick a way to die, “this one is really painful, like really, really painful. But it’s also good that it gives you enough time while you’re brain is still working to wrap things up.”
