Trump-Loving Creator of Hugely Popular Cartoon Character Gives Grim Cancer Update

Scott Adams faces metastasized prostate cancer with zero recovery odds, ongoing heart failure, and loss of leg sensation while continuing work using painkillers and marijuana for pain.

  • On January 1, Scott Adams, the Dilbert creator, said a radiologist visit brought 'nothing but bad news' and that `the odds of me recovering are essentially zero`.
  • His cancer has metastasized, and Adams has been sharing updates after pleading in November for President Donald Trump to help get medicine, though December treatment faced a roadblock.
  • On his livestream, Adams noted he has no feeling in his legs and ongoing heart failure, and said `I like doing it` while planning to use painkillers and marijuana to stay productive.
  • Adams warned fans that January will probably be a 'month of transition' and said he will continue livestreaming and working on Dilbert for as long as it makes sense.
  • Adams's public profile matters because he was an early Trump backer and remains a loyal MAGA supporter, keeping a calm demeanor Thursday while asking about Victor Davis Hanson's health.
