Scott Adams

Scott Raymond Adams (born June 8, 1957) is an American author and cartoonist. He is the creator of the ''Dilbert'' comic strip and of several nonfiction works of business, commentary, and satire. Adams worked in various corporate roles before he became a full-time cartoonist in 1995. By the mid-1990s, ''Dilbert'', created in 1989, had gained national prominence in the United States and began to reach a worldwide audience, remaining popular throughout the following decades and spawning several books written by Adams. From the mid-10s onwards, Adams emerged as an independent commentator of events and politics.

Adams writes in a satirical way about the social and psychological landscape of white-collar workers in modern corporations. In addition, Adams has written books in various other areas, including the pandeistic spiritual novella ''God's Debris'' and books on political and management topics, including ''Loserthink''.

In February 2023, ''Dilbert'' was dropped by numerous newspapers and its distributor, Andrews McMeel Syndication, after Adams called black Americans a "hate group" that white Americans should "get the hell away from" in light of a poll showing only 53% of black Americans expressing agreement that "it's okay to be white". Adams later said this was a use of hyperbole. Adams then relaunched the strip as a webcomic on his locals.com website. Provided by Wikipedia
