Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind the popular "Dilbert" comic strip, has died at the age of 68, as confirmed by his ex-wife Shelly Miles during a live stream on his podcast. Adams had been battling metastatic prostate cancer, which he revealed last year had spread significantly by the time of his passing, according to CBS News.

Adams' career spanned decades, starting with "Dilbert" first published in 1989, which humorously depicted corporate culture. However, his popularity waned following a series of controversial remarks deemed racist, leading to the cancellation of the comic by numerous newspapers in 2023, as reported by Reuters and South China Morning Post.
