Scott Adams, the creator of the workplace comic strip “Dilbert,” said he is now “paralyzed below the waist” amid his battle with advanced prostate cancer.
“So here’s the latest update,” he said in a Dec. 13 video. “I am paralyzed below the waist in the sense that I can’t move any muscles. I do have feeling; I just can’t move any muscles. And the solution as of today is we’re gonna ambulance me over to a facility to get radiated, and they’re going to try to radiate that pesky tumor that’s around my spine.”
He continued, “If all goes well and it gets more tumor than it gets good stuff, I might get ... some strength back in my lower body. That’s the hope.”
In May, Adams disclosed he had the same aggressive form of prostate cancer as former President Joe Biden. Adams said he had months to live.
A multitude of publications carrying Adams’ “Dilbert,” his 1989-launched office-set featuring the everyman nerd of the same name, dropped his strip in 2023 after he said Black people were members of a “hate group.”
