Scott Adams, Creator of Dilbert Comic Strip, Passes Away at 68

Scott Adams, the American cartoonist best known for creating the widely popular comic strip Dilbert, has died at the age of 68. Media reports said Adams had been battling prostate cancer and was receiving hospice care at his home in Northern California. His death was announced by his ex-wife, Shelly Miles, through a message shared on his YouTube channel.

Adams gained global recognition in the 1990s with Dilbert, a comic strip that humorously portrayed corporate office culture, workplace politics, and the everyday struggles of white-collar employees. The strip was syndicated in thousands of newspapers worldwide and became especially popular among professionals working in corporate environments.

In later years, Adams’ career faced setbacks following controversy over his public remarks on race. Several media outlets subsequently dropped Dilbert from publication. Despite the criticism surrounding his final years, Adams’ impact on workplace satire and comic storytelling remains significant, and his work continues to be widely recognized for its influence on modern office humor.
