Dilbert creator announces he was diagnosed with same kind of prostate cancer as Biden

Published May 20, 2025 3:54am ET



Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip “Dilbert,” announced on Monday that he had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. He said it was the same kind of cancer former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with. 

“Dilbert” was a famous comic strip that humorously criticized the inner workings of corporate America through the life of a fictitious and animated engineer named Dilbert. It ran from April 1989 until March 2023, after numerous publications dropped the comic strip over comments Adams made about race relations in the country.
