Earlier, in November, Adams had made a public plea on social media asking former President Donald Trump to intervene with his health care provider to help him access a newly FDA-approved cancer drug, writing that he was “declining fast” and needed help scheduling treatment. Trump responded publicly to that plea. �

Adams launched Dilbert in 1989, a comic strip satirizing corporate office life. The strip ran for decades and was widely syndicated until 2023, when many newspapers dropped it after Adams made widely criticized comments that were considered racist. �
