Scott Adams, creator of the "Dilbert" comic strip, is revealing he's been diagnosed with prostate cancer like former President Joe Biden but he does not have long to live.

During a live stream on May 19, the cartoonist, 67, revealed that like Biden, he has also been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to the bone. "My life expectancy is maybe this summer," Adams said. "I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer."

Adams, who said he has been using a walker for months, went on to detail how he is "always in pain" and doesn't "have good days," telling viewers, "Every day is a nightmare, and evening is even worse."

That is horrifying. And why we have MAID as an option in Canada now, in case somebody wants it. Bloody hell. Fuck cancer.

What I want to say is kinda tasteless, but it involves the timing and him being known MAGA.

I wasnt big into Dilbert, when I read newspaper comics it was always one of the ones I couldn't get into (because I was a literal child).

The cartoon show was okay though.

I enjoyed Dilbert, and I was really disappointed to find out that Adams is more like the boss in his comic strip than Dilbert.

If he's been suffering this this whole time, it's weird for him to just now announce it after Biden's announcement. ...Okay, not weird, because he's clearing trying to grab some of the attention.

I know, we can make him a tombstone shaped like Dilbert's head.

Yeah, you gotta admit the timing is rather suspect.

Like, why announce you have the same cancer as Biden *now*?

If he does have cancer, sure that sucks, but is he really trying to steal Biden's thunder on THIS of all things?

Yeah, it seems like he's been dealing with this for a while. I suspect he planned on going out peacefully initially.

It's very possible it's all a coincidence, but it's hard for me to buy that due to his behavior in the past.

I mean, fuck cancer and all that stuff. But ... yeah

Scott Adams has faked illnesses for attention in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if he miraculously gets better at some point.

https://www.cbs42.com/entertainment/dilbert-creator-scott-adams-announces-he-has-prostate-cancer-will-likely-be-checking-out-sometime-this-summer/

"Some of you have already guessed, so this wont surprise you at all, but I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has, so I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones, but Ive had it longer than hes had it; well, longer than hes admitted having it, so my life expectancy is maybe the summer."

If global cancellation is my price for free speech, it was worth it, Adams said. Im probably the only white man in America who has free speech today because I can say whatever the hell I want and I cant get further canceled.

Scott Adams is the kind of person who feels the need to be an asshole even as he's announcing a terminal cancer diagnosis. I wonder if he thinks black people are somehow responsible for this too.

Regardless of my opinion of him, I do not wish cancer upon anyone. Terrible disease.

(Holy shit I forgot just how deeply racist he was)

If he believes his time is short, I strongly recommend he let go of his hate. That's not how you want to go out to meet your maker, complaining about humans with different pigmentation than you.

If getting the Michael Richards treatment is getting "cancelled," then God bless cancellation. People like Adams always love to play the victim when they're facing the consequences of their own actions.

I hope he changes before the end, but so far it seems he's gonna pull a Limbaugh and be an asshole till he's moldering.

I'm sorry he has cancer. I'm not saying I'd never wish it on anyone, but as obnoxious and despicable as Scott Adams is, he doesn't deserve cancer.

I'm not sorry that I somewhat doubt whether he has cancer or not. The guy has such a history of saying horribly things as bad faith "jokes" or trolling, it's hard not to be suspicious what with the timing.

However I will take what he says at face value and restate that I am sorry for what he is going through and very sad for his family.
