Comic strip creator has Biden’s cancer diagnosis, has months to live: ‘Every day is a nightmare’

Scott Adams, the creator of the “Dilbert” comic strip, revealed he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Adams, 67, said the cancer has metastasized to his bones.

“I’ve decided that today’s the day that I’m going to take the opportunity, since a lot of you are here, to make an announcement of my own,” Adams said Monday during an episode of his YouTube show, “Real Coffee with Scott Adams.” “Some of you have already guessed, so this won’t surprise you all. But I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has.

“But I’ve had it longer than he’s had it. Well, longer than he’s admitted having it. So my life expectancy is maybe this summer. I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer.”

Adams said he has had time to process his diagnosis and that it has given him time to say goodbyes, get his affairs in order and do all the things he needed to do.

He also told viewers that he had been using a walker for months due to a tumor near his spine and was in near-constant pain, describing the condition as “intolerable.”

“Every day is a nightmare, and evening is even worse,” he said.

Dilbert the comic strip first appeared in 1989, poking fun at office culture. It ran for decades in numerous newspapers but disappeared following racist remarks by Adams.
