Controversial conservative 'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams dead at 68

Scott Adams, the conservative creator of the Dilbert comic strip, has died at the age of 68.

Earlier this year, Adams announced that he had been approved for the drug Pluvicto to treat metastasized prostate cancer. His death was confirmed on his Rumble video site.

"But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it, and I can't seem to fix that. I am declining fast," Adams wrote earlier this month. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Adams that President Donald Trump wanted to help overcome his difficulties with an insurance company.

Adams was an ardent supporter of Trump and expressed concerns that electing Hillary Clinton would lower the status of men. The cartoonist caused an uproar by doubting facts about the Holocaust in 2022.

At the end of his life, he proclaimed that Jesus Christ had saved him.

"Many of my Christian friends and Christian followers say to me, Scott, you still have time, you should convert to Christianity," he noted in early January. "I've not been a believer."

"So I still have time, but my understanding is you're never too late," he continued. "I do believe that the dominant Christian theory is that I would wake up in heaven if I have a good life."

"I am now convinced that the risk reward is completely smart. If it turns out that there's nothing there, I've lost nothing. But I've respected your wishes, and I like doing that. If it turns out there is something there, and the Christian model is the closest to it, I win. So with your permission, I promise you that I will convert."
