The Dilbert creator says "it's all bad news."



Scott Adams, the renowned creator of Dilbert, has shared some pretty disheartening news via his podcast Real Coffee With Scott Adams. Adams, who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, said the following during last Thursday's episode of the show:


I talked to my radiologist yesterday and it’s all bad news — the odds of me recovering are essentially zero. I’ll give you any updates if that changes, but it won’t.

That's a pretty harrowing statement, and profoundly sad to hear for the millions of fans who have been thrilled by his contributions to the world of sequential art over the decades. His comic strip Dilbert first began publication in 1989 and is still going strong, albeit after facing cancellation following smear campaigns from online pundits and legacy media.


As we learn more about the creator's situation, we'll share it with you all here.
