Cartoonist Scott Adams Shares Dire Health Update Amid Prostate Cancer Battle
Renowned cartoonist Scott Adams, creator of the popular comic strip “Dilbert,” has shared a harrowing health update with his fans. The 68-year-old revealed that his prostate cancer prognosis is not positive, with his radiologist delivering “all bad news” regarding his chances of recovery.
Adams broke the news on his podcast “Real Coffee with Scott Adams,” stating that the odds of him recovering are “essentially zero.” He also mentioned that he has been experiencing ongoing heart failure, which is making it difficult for him to breathe at times. The cartoonist has been using a walker to walk for months and is in constant pain, describing every day as a “nightmare.”
Despite the dire prognosis, Adams has not given up on his work. He is still creating new comics and hosting his podcast, which he finds therapeutic and enjoyable. The cartoonist has also been working on a 2026 calendar for “Dilbert,” which he recently shared on Instagram.
Background on Scott Adams and “Dilbert”
Scott Adams created “Dilbert” in 1989, and the comic strip has since become a staple in many newspapers. However, in 2023, over 80 newspapers stopped printing the cartoon after Adams made racist remarks on his podcast. He claimed that black people were a “hate group” and urged white people to “get the hell away” from them. Despite the controversy, Adams has continued to promote his work and host his podcast.
Adams’ health struggles began in May, when he revealed that he had an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. He described the pain as “intolerable” and stated that his life expectancy was “maybe the summer.” The cartoonist has been open about his health struggles, using his platform to raise awareness about prostate cancer and its effects.

Adams has extended his “respect and compassion and sympathy” to former President Joe Biden, who recently announced his own prostate cancer diagnosis. The cartoonist acknowledged that the ex-President and his family will be going through a tough time, stating that “it’s going to get very painful for the president.”
