US Edition‘Dilbert’ creator Scott Adams doesn’t expect to live much longer
- On Thursday, Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, said during a livestream that his radiologist told him the odds of recovery are essentially zero and he will post updates if that changes.
- Medical updates indicate his prostate cancer has spread to his bones, a spinal tumor causes lower-body paralysis, and heart failure disrupts his breathing, requiring radiation therapy.
- Broadcasts show Adams livestreamed hospital and ambulance treatment, resumed studio broadcasts after Dec. 21, described coughing attacks lasting 8 to 12 hours, and is working on new comics while managing pain.
- Adams warned that January will likely be a month of transition as he may die within the month and could use California's End of Life Option Act if eligible with a life expectancy threshold of six months.
- After years of controversy, Adams's career was damaged when Andrews McMeel and more than 80 newspapers dropped Dilbert, once in more than 2,000 newspapers, after his racist remarks, and he appealed to President Donald Trump to press Kaiser of Northern California for delayed treatment.
