Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, has revealed that he has prostate cancer, acknowledging that "it is 100% not curable," while speaking candidly about the disease in a video shared on social media. Adams, at sixty-seven years old, stated that his condition is terminal, while suggesting that he had come to with how little time he has left.

In a video ed to X as a part of his Coffee with Scott Adams online series, the Dilbert creator says he has been grappling with terminal prostate cancer for some time; in the process, he compared his condition to that of former U.S. President Joe Biden, who whose own cancer diagnosis was made public this week.

As in Biden's case, Adams explained that his cancer has unfortunately spread to his bones, leaving the Dilbert creator little option for treatment.

"I don't have any good days," Adams explained, expressing how much pain he's been in on a daily basis. The cartoonist also shared the grim reality that he expects his cancer to run its course by the end of the summer, given its recent progression. The author and artist, who has published Dilbert since 1989, spoke frankly about his condition, and how it has been "hard to watch" the public offer no sympathy to ex-President Biden while dealing with prostate cancer himself.

Scott Adams' video is meant to serve as much of an educational overview of prostate cancer as much as it is an announcement of how he's personally dealing with it; after offering the facts about prostate cancer, Adams itted his own diagnosis at the seven-minute mark of his video, stating:

I've decided that today is the day that I'm going to take the opportunity, since a lot of you are here, to make an announcement of my own. Some of you have already guessed [laughs] so this won't surprise you at all, but I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has. I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones. But I've had it longer than he's had it. Well, longer than he's itted having it. So, my life expectancy is maybe this summer. I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer.

Adams also made a reference to California's End of Life Option Act, which allows for physician-assisted euthanasia, though he offered no further indication of if he planned to utilize this option.

As Adams continued his video, he itted that his cancer has made his day-to-day activities increasingly difficult, while itting that "the behavior of the people on it" was one reason why he took a step back, possibly referring to people who have been critical of him in the wake controversial comments he's previously made. Ultimately, he's been in too much pain after the shows to continue. Adams has dealt with his prostate cancer in secret for a long time, and now, he feels now is the appropriate time to come forward, following Biden's announcement.

Scott Adams' closing words in his video were, "Alright, stop crying, all of you. If I'm not crying, you can't cry. You can't be sadder than I am about my cancer."

From his video, Adams seems to have reached a point where he's simply accepted his diagnosis with no fear or sadness on display during his announcement. Scott Adams' closing words in his video were, "Alright, stop crying, all of you. If I'm not crying, you can't cry. You can't be sadder than I am about my cancer." Though his pop culture legacy may have been complicated for many in the last several years, it is still worth extending a measure of sympathy to the Dilbert creator as he enters the final stage of his life.
