Scott Adams, the legendary creator of the comic strip Dilbert and a widely respected and beloved political commentator, died Tuesday at the age of 68.
Adams had been publicly fighting a metastasized form of prostate cancer. Early reports indicate that the day before his passing, the former atheist converted to Christianity.
Adams announced earlier this month that any hope for remission was gone, and he expected to die sometime in January. Until last week, he continued to do his popular online podcast.
In addition to his iconic comic strip, thanks to his uncanny ability to explain the Trump phenomenon all the way back in 2015, even before anyone knew there would be a Trump phenomenon, Adams became widely regarded as an insightful political commentator, something that continued to the final days of his life.
In a final message read by his ex-wife, Adams wanted everyone to know about his Christian conversion:
“If you are reading this, things did not go well for me. I have a few things to say before I go. My body failed before my brain. I am of sound mind as I write this January 1st, 2026,” said the letter. “I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and look forward to spending an eternity with Him.”
Scott Adams leaves one final message for his followers, says he has accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior before telling his life story.
The letter was read by his ex-wife.
