“Dilbert” comic strip creator Scott Adams disclosed on Monday that he is battling prostate cancer, remarking that “each day feels like a nightmare” and he anticipates “my life expectancy could be until this summer.”
Adams, 67, made the announcement while talking about former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis.
During his “Coffee with Scott Adams” web show, Adams stated, “I am facing the same cancer as Joe Biden. Prostate cancer has spread to my bones as well,” and added, “I might be departing this world by summer’s end.”
Adams further expressed, “The disease is unbearable. I can tell you that good days are rare for me,” continuing with, “So if you’re curious, ‘Hey Scott, do you experience any good days?’ The answer is no. Every day is a nightmare with evenings being even worse.”

“If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people – according to this poll, not to me – that’s a hate group,” Adams said in a past episode of “Coffee with Scott Adams,” referring to a Rasmussen poll. “That’s a hate group, and I don’t want anything to do with them.”
The “Dilbert” comic strip was named after its title character struggling to make it up the corporate ladder and often poked fun at office culture with satirical humor and social commentary.

Adams began writing and illustrating the comic in 1989 before launching a newer version, called “Dilbert Reborn.”
