Dilbert Cartoonist/Creator Scott Adams Dies At 68
He was mired in controversy in his final days, but if you ever worked in an office, you could probably relate to the Dilbert comic strip. It used to be carried here in the Toronto Star Saturday colour comics.
The strip was about the stupidity of office life and became a favourite of many. It even inspired a short lived TV cartoon version and at its height, appeared in some 2,000 newspapers.
But when creator Scott Adams ventured into some racist rhetoric, most papers pulled the strip.
Adams never recovered from the controversy and passed away on Tuesday. He was only 68.

Re: Dilbert Cartoonist/Creator Scott Adams Dies At 68
Dilbert was my favourite newspaper comic strip which appeared in the Toronto Star on Saturdays, as mentioned by RA, and it also appeared daily in the Globe and Mail’s business section, which I thought was ironic. I have a couple of the Dilbert books as well, which I still like to pull out for a laugh.
I was so disappointed when Scott Adam’s showed his true colours as a racist, which he argued, and his comic strip was dropped in 2023, in fact, I was surprised by the whole thing as I didn’t suspect him of anything but funny. Apparently he appealed to Trump for help in his final months. A sad ending for someone who made me, and millions, laugh at the cubical world. R.I.P. Scott Adams and thanks for making me laugh.
