Scott Adams , cartoonist and author and creator of “ Dilbert ,” poses for a portrait in his home office on Monday, Jan. 6, 2014, in Pleasanton, California.President Donald Trump praised Adams as a"fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn’t fashionable to do so.
"Just a day earlier, Adams had told fans in an online chat streamed on X that he's “way past my expiration” date and that there are “no promises” he can live for even one more day. “You can tell I’m getting weaker and weaker," Adams said Monday."I’ve been told that’s the way I’ll know how much time I have left is by how tired I am and how much pain I have."In that online meeting with friends on Monday, Adams thanked his former wife for being"the only thing keeping me alive right now." Adams also expressed his gratitude for conservative writer and biographer Joel Pollak for"keeping the lights on."Adams’ “Dilbert” was first published in 1989, delighting generations of readers with his satiric look at ridiculous elements of white-collar office life., joining an elite club with such iconic artists as Matt Groening , Gary Trudeau , Gary Larson and Charles Schulz . If Adams had harbored any far-right theories, he had largely kept those thoughts to himself as his cartoon flourished in popularity.said Black Americans are members of a “hate group” or a “racist hate group” and said he would no longer “help Black Americans.” “Based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people,” Adams said."If you look into the context, the point that got me cancelled is that CRT, DEI and ESG all have in common the framing that White Americans are historically the oppressors and Black Americans have been oppressed, and it continues to this day. I recommended staying away from any group of Americans that identifies your group as the bad guys, because that puts a target on your back.""Scott Adams was a true American original, and a great ally to the President of the United States and the entire administration," ."My prayers go to Scott and all of you who loved him. We lost one of the good ones but we’ll never forget him." After announcing Adams' death, Miles read a note that her ex-husband penned on Jan. 1, telling fans of his late-life conversion to Christianity."I'm not a believer but I have to admit the risk-reward calculation for doing so looks attractive. So here I go," according to the "I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior and I look forward to spending an eternity with him. The part about me being a believer should be quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven."
