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 the author of several nonfiction works of business, commentary, and satire. Adams worked in various clerical roles before he became a full-time cartoonist in 1995. While working at Pacific Bell in 1989, Adams created ''Dilbert.'' By the mid-1990s, the strip had gained national prominence in the United States and began to reach a worldwide audience. ''Dilbert'' remained popular throughout the following decades, spawning several books written by Adams.

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 that disagreed with "It's okay to be white" a "hate group" and said white Americans should "get the hell away from" them. 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
