On 13 January 2026, popular cartoonist and “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams passed away from complications of stage IV prostate cancer which had spread to the bone.  Adams drew on years of employment as an office worker for “Dilbert,” known for its satirical humor about a white-collar, micromanaged office.
