Yes it was dropped after he questioned that "6 million" number (you know what I mean) during a podcast. He also talked about race on more than
one occasion and suggested segregation is a good idea.
The ex wife of Scott Adams told TMZ he had entered hospice. >https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/12/dilbert-creator-scott-adams-hospice-prostate-cancer/
His death from complications of metastatic cancer was announced.

Wasn't his comic dropped from most places due to some earlier scandal?
Was he still putting out material recently?

You mean like they routinely do on college campuses now, with "minority-only >> study spaces", black dorms, and separate graduation ceremonies for black
students?
Weird how it's okay to openly supportive segregation when you're black,
but it's racist to support it when you're white.
Superficially ironic, maybe, but too inevitable to be weird.
Dilbert's last 20 years of strips wasn't that good;
it's the period of around 1995 - 1999 that are gold!

That's completely normal for comics. My father once told me that Blondie
was funny when it started out; I was startled. I once read some very old Family Circus comics, and it was a very different strip in which their neglectful father drank a lot and ogled hotties while the kids did some genuinely bad things.
I respect the creator of Calvin and Hobbes for ending it before it began
to stink.

It's the "American way" to keep churning something out until everybody
is thoroughly sick of it and not bothering to watch / read / listen to
it (and then make some more just to make sure) ... just look at The
Simpsons. :-\
