  • R.I.P. George Booth, 96, "New Yorker" cartoonist who illustrated a Dr.

    From Lenona@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 3 07:10:21 2022
    "George Booth, the New Yorker cartoonist who created a world of oddballs sharing life’s chaos with a pointy-eared bull terrier that once barked a flower to death, and sometimes with a herd of cats that shredded couches and window shades between sweet
    naps, died on Tuesday at his home in Brooklyn. He was 96."

    "Booth is among the handful of New Yorker cartoonists of whom it could be said that the artist closely resembled the artist’s work (Charles Addams and Steinberg are among the others). Meeting Booth was like meeting a character in his cartoon world."
