Cartoonist Scott Adams Dies At 68
The celebrated creator behind Dilbert comic strips, Scott Adams, has passed away following a battle with cancer. The artist’s ex-wife, Shelly Miles, revealed the news and read his final message to fans during a live stream of Real Coffee with Scott Adams on the morning of January 13.
She had revealed to TMZ just yesterday (January 12) that her former husband had entered hospice earlier this month and was receiving end-of-life care. Adams went public with his prostate cancer diagnosis last year. The disease had spread to his bones and left him paralyzed below the waist.
Scott Adams’ Final Words
Real Coffee with Scott Adams was a podcast hosted by the late cartoonist, and he often used the platform to share health updates with his fans. This morning, Miles appeared in his place, choking back tears as she read his final words. The letter read:
“If you are reading this, things did not go well for me. I have a few things to say before I go. My body failed before my brain. I am of sound mind as I write this, January 1, 2026.”
Further down, he writes:
“Many of my Christian friends have asked me to find Jesus before I go. I am not a believer, but I have to admit, the risk/reward calculation for doing so looks so attractive to me, so here I go: I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and look forward to spending an eternity with him.”

Scott Adams Career & Legacy
Scott Raymond Adams was an author and cartoonist best known for his creation of the comic Dilbert and his witty and satirical commentary on white-collar life.
Adams was born in Wyndam, NY, in 1957. He dreamed of a career in cartoons and idolized illustrators before him like Charles Schulz, the creator of Peanuts. After a series of rejections in his early adult years, Adams took a practical route and majored in economics.
He held various corporate jobs and went on to earn his MBA from Berkeley. Dilbert was born out of doodles he made of his coworkers. The comic strip was picked up by United Media in 1989. By the mid-’90s, it appeared in more than 1,000 newspapers in 32 countries.
Adams was the first nationally syndicated cartoonist to put his strips online, and they quickly became a staple in offices and cubicles around the globe. He quit his corporate job in 1995 to focus on Dilbert full-time.
