It’s with great sadness that we report the passing of Scott Adams at the age of 68. Adams, who was the creator of the iconic comic strip Dilbert and who in his later years became a conservative commentator through his widely watched podcast Coffee with Scott Adams, passed away after a long battle with prostate cancer. However, there is some joy in the midst of the sad news. During the last days of his life, Scott Adams accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. The Post Millennial reported more on Adam’s conversion before his death: Scott Adams was pronounced dead on Tuesday morning after a battle with prostate cancer. The Dilbert cartoonist and conservative commentator, whose popular Coffee with Scott Adams streams had a wide audience, announced his illness in 2025 and documented his progress, giving listeners a look at the struggles he faced as he neared death. In his final moments, he accepts Christ as his savior and told viewers that his Christian friends had encouraged him to do so. He had said over the past week, as his condition worsened, that he would do so. “Unfortunately, this isn’t good news,” said Adams’ ex-wife Shelly Miles. “Of course, he waited till just before the show started. He’s not with us right anymore. I’m gonna try to get through this. He has a final message that he wanted to say, so I’m going to try to read it, trying to be strong. “‘If you are reading this, things did not go well for me,’” Miles read, “‘I have a few things to say before I go. My body fell before my brain. I am of sound mind as I write this January 1, 2026 if you wonder about any of my choices for my estate or anything else, please know I’m free of any reason or inappropriate influence of any sort, I promise next, many of my Christian friends have asked me to find Jesus before I go. “‘I’m 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. The part about me not being a believer should be quite quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven, I won’t need any more convincing than that. I hope I’m still qualified for entry.’” On Monday, he was transferred to hospice care with only a few days to live. He was 68-years-old. Earlier in January, Adams had announced that his prognosis had worsened. While he still hosted his show, it became a call-in stream where he spoke to friends and long time fans, essentially saying goodbye. Adams’ ex-wife Shelly Miles announced Scott’s death during a livestream: Coffee with Scott Adams moves to The Scott Adams School 01/13/24 https://t.co/RsXWMvV6yA — Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 13, 2026 Here was Adam’s just days before his death: NEW: @ScottAdamsSays announces he’ll convert to Christianity in his final days@DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/1uprnQJDxa — Jason Cohen (@JasonJournoDC) January 4, 2026 The Hollywood Reporter provided a background of how Adam’s first started Dilbert: Scott Adams, who kept cubicle denizens laughing for more than three decades with Dilbert, the bitingly funny comic strip that poked fun at the absurdity of corporate life, before racist remarks got him pink-slipped, died Tuesday. He was 68. His death was tearfully revealed by his first ex-wife, Shelly Miles, at the start of Real Coffee With Scott Adams. In May, he said on the podcast that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which had spread to his bones. “I expect to be checking out from this domain this summer,” he said. In a statement he wrote that was read by Miles over six minutes, he said, “Things did not go well for me … my body fell before my brain.” Sprung from Adams’ days as a Pacific Bell applications engineer in San Ramon, California, Dilbert debuted in 1989 and at the height of its popularity appeared in more than 2,000 newspapers across 65 countries and in 25 languages with an estimated worldwide readership of more than 150 million. Though it had the appropriate level of cartoon exaggeration, the strip keenly captured office life and struck a nerve with the white-collar class. “That’s the amazing thing I found when I went online a couple of years ago,” Adams told The New York Times in a 1995 interview. “I heard from all these people who thought that they were the only ones, that they were in this unique, absurd situation. That they couldn’t talk about their situation because no one would believe it. Basically, there are 25 million people out there, living in cardboard boxes indoors, and there was no voice for them. So there was this pent-up demand.” Dilbert was an unassuming, mild-mannered engineer who was a whiz with computers but lacking in social skills. His colleagues included Alice, a highly qualified tech who raged against the chauvinistic corporate mindset that thought less of her because she was a woman; Wally, a senior engineer whose goal was to avoid work and responsibility at all costs; and Asok, an Indian intern whose optimism was quashed by the corporate agenda. The team was overseen by the Pointy-Haired Boss, a clueless authority whose actions towed the company line and often caused more harm than good. Also in the mix were Dogbert, a maniacal schemer, and Catbert, the ruthless head of HR. Many of the jokes played off the inane truths of the work environment. For example, when the Pointy-Haired Boss suggests a pre-meeting to prepare for a meeting the next day, Dilbert sarcastically questions whether it’s wise to jump into a pre-meeting without any planning. In the last panel, the team finds themselves sitting through a preliminary pre-meeting. In another entry, Catbert bans the term “work-life balance,” as it implies that employees’ lives are important. He goes on to compliment Dilbert for not having a life. And when the boss wonders why his email is not working, Wally tells him the internet is full, leading the boss to attempt to drain the data from his computer by siphoning it into a wastebasket. Dilbert sprang from the monotony of Adams’ own days on the job. Stuck in endless business meetings, he’d while away the hours sketching ideas on a notepad, leading to Dilbert. “I hated my work,” he said. “It never seemed to me to be what I should be doing.” Adams put together a portfolio of his workday doodles and sent it to several newspaper syndicates. United Feature Syndicate bit, and by 1991, Adams’ cartooning revenue had far exceeded his annual Pacific Bell salary. Always Postpone Meetings With Time-Wasting Morons, his first Dilbert compilation book, hit bookstores in 1992. It was followed by 48 more, including Random Acts of Management, When Did Ignorance Become a Point of View? and Freedom’s Just Another Word for People Finding Out You’re Useless. Dilbert T-shirts, calendars, coffee mugs, dolls and a video game flooded the market. For two seasons starting in 1999, fans could catch animated Dilbert episodes on UPN. Developed by Adams in collaboration with Seinfeld writer Larry Charles, the series featured the voice talent of Daniel Stern (Dilbert), Larry Miller (Pointy-Haired Boss), Chris Elliott (Dogbert), Kathy Griffin (Alice) and Jason Alexander (Catbert).
