RIP Scott Adams. You made us think and laugh. What better can be said of someone?

Scott Adams, a cartoonist, author, an independent-minded pundit and podcaster, has died at the age of 68 after a rather public battle against prostate cancer. The host of Real Coffee with Scott Adams, the creator of the legendary comic strip Dilbert, and the author of numerous books, had continued with his livestreaming routine, seven days a week throughout his treatments for the disease up until yesterday. In the process, he treated his audience like close family during his cancer journey.
Adams first entered the American consciousness through the clever and relatable satire of Dilbert, which vividly captured the frustrations, absurdities, and the humor of modern office life. His success with Dilbert enabled him to branch out into self-help books on persuasion, and eventually to carve out a very influential niche as an intelligent observer of American politics, culture and media.
Adams was born in 1957 in rural Windham, New York. While he often recounted that he showed early aptitude for drawing, he initially pursued a more conventional path, earning an MBA and working in banking and telecommunications firms. Years in a corporate setting informed his later work on Dilbert, which debuted in 1989. The strip’s central insight, that organizations often reward the wrong behaviors and promote the least capable people, felt both funny and true.

Seems like it was really fast. Sad to hear. RIP sir. Your humor will live on. 🙏😔

Cancer is an insidious disease for which there seems to be no real cure.
Usually when they announce you’re in hospice, it’s a matter of days.
RIP Scott. Loved your work.
Way ahead of his time.
