Cartoonist Scott Adams , who created the comic strip Dilbert, revealed on Monday he has been diagnosed with the same aggressive prostate cancer as ex-US President Joe Biden.
“I have the same cancer Joe Biden has. So, I also have prostate cancer which has also spread to my bones," Adams disclosed during an episode of his YouTube show, Real Coffee with Scott Adams.
The 67-year-old made the announcement after extending his “respect and compassion and sympathy” for Biden and the former president's family. Biden announced his diagnosis on Sunday and stated he and his family are reviewing treatment options with his doctors.
"I am always in pain, use a walker to get around and expect to die sometime this summer. The pain basically intolerable," Adams said.
He added that he has had time to process his cancer diagnosis, and time to say goodbyes, get his affairs in order and do all the things he needed to do.

Dilbert first appeared in 1989, poking fun at office culture. It ran for decades in numerous newspapers but disappeared with lightning speed in 2023 following "racist" remarks by Adams.
On his YouTube show at the time, among other things, he described Black people as a “hate group” and said he would no longer “help Black Americans.”
Later, he stated he was being "hyperbolic," yet continued to defend his stance.
Various media publishers across the US denounced the comments as racist, hateful and discriminatory while saying they would no longer provide a platform for his work.
