In a podcast titled &#8220;Real Coffee with Scott Adams,&#8221; he disclosed that his cancer has also metastasized to his bones,and he shared an ominous prognosis,mentioning a life expectancy of just a few months. Throughout his announcement, Adams detailed the severe pain and challenges he faces daily, including the use of a walker. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dilbert,&#8221; known for its satirical take on corporate culture, was published from 1989 until 2023, when it was dropped by numerous outlets due to adams&#8217; controversial comments on race relations. After this, he transitioned the comic to a web format and continued engaging in political commentary.<\/p>\n<p>Adams reflected on the importance of knowing one&#8217;s prognosis, suggesting that it allows for a type of civility in preparing for the end of life. He remarked on the emotional and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/graham-the-racial-crisis-in-wisconsin\/\" title=\"GRAHAM: The Racial \u2018Crisis\u2019 In Wisconsin\">physical toll<\/a> of his illness, emphasizing its painful nature while also acknowledging the opportunity it offers to settle affairs and say goodbyes.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">&lsquo;Dilbert&rsquo; creator announces he was diagnosed with same kind of prostate cancer as Biden<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2126192\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip &ldquo;Dilbert,&rdquo; announced on Monday that he had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/cancer\/\" title=\"\">cancer<\/a>.

After first talking about former President Joe Biden&rsquo;s diagnosis, wishing him well, and analyzing many of the responses to Biden&rsquo;s cancer revelation, Adams told his audience of his bout with the disease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Today, I am going to take the opportunity&hellip; to make an announcement of my own,&rdquo; Adams said. &ldquo;Some of you have already guessed, so this won&rsquo;t surprise you at all. I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has, so I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones. But I&rsquo;ve had longer than he&rsquo;s had it, well, longer than he&rsquo;s admitted having it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Adams then announced a grim diagnosis of how much longer he has left to live.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So my life expectancy is, maybe, this summer,&rdquo; Adam said. &ldquo;I expect to be checking out from this domain, sometime this summer.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Adams then chronicled his struggles with the disease, detailing his pain and how, on many days, he finds it intolerable. He said that he must use a walker every day and that he is always in pain.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Every day is a nightmare, and evening is even worse,&rdquo; Adams <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/celebrities\/2025\/05\/19\/scott-adams-joe-biden-cancer-dilbert-comic\/83728060007\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a> during the podcast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Known for the comic strip, Adams made remarks in 2023 that were deemed controversial, which eventually led major publications to pull the &ldquo;Dilbert&rdquo; comic strip, effectively ending it. It was later relaunched as a webcomic. He became somewhat of a political pundit later in his career. While always dabbling in political commentary, especially with the contents of the &ldquo;Dilbert&rdquo; comic strip, he was one of the first to predict that Donald Trump would win the 2016 U.S. presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2018, Adams was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2095689\/dilbert-creator-scott-adams-trump-has-had-one-of-the-best-first-years\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interviewed<\/a> by the <em>Washington Examiner, <\/em>in which he raved about Trump&rsquo;s first year in office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think history might judge this one of the most successful first years of any presidency. I&rsquo;m not a presidential historian, so there may be some other examples that are clearly more,&rdquo; Adams <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2095689\/dilbert-creator-scott-adams-trump-has-had-one-of-the-best-first-years\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> at the time. &ldquo;But from a Republican point of view, the number of things that he got done that were important to them is really impressive. I mean, ISIS is beaten down. You know the list, right? Immigration is down. Just by persuasion, it&rsquo;s down, plus probably stronger enforcement.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You see that North Korea might be getting a little flexible. You see the economy&rsquo;s good. You see the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >small business confidence level<\/a> at the highest it&rsquo;s ever been,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;Black unemployment is at its lowest rate in a long time. So, it&rsquo;s hard to find anything that&rsquo;s not trending in the right direction, at least at this point.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3415392\/trump-big-beautiful-bill-passes-house-budget-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>REPUBLICANS MUSCLE THE &lsquo;BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL&rsquo; OUT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Adams would go on to have many political guests on his podcast and continue to talk politics even after his supposed controversial remarks.
