- At his Northern California home, Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, died Jan. 13 after receiving hospice care, his ex-wife Shelly Miles announced on a YouTube livestream Tuesday morning.
- Adams disclosed in May 2025 that metastatic prostate cancer had spread to his bones, causing leg numbness, breathing issues, and a radiologist said his recovery odds were essentially zero.
- At its peak, the Dilbert ran in approximately 2,000 newspapers across 57 countries and 19 languages, with more than 20 million calendars and books in print and Scott Adams winning the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award .
- In February 2023, Adams' remarks were widely interpreted as racist, prompting hundreds of newspapers including major papers and his syndicator and publisher to cut ties, but he later relaunched Dilbert on subscription site Locals and drew tens of thousands on weekday livestreams.
- Earlier this month, Scott Adams livestreamed daily and shared a final health update on Real Coffee with Scott Adams, filming what could be his last episode.
