  • Cartoonist George Booth has passed away

    From D.D.Degg@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 2 16:46:05 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."

    I remember George Booth's Local Item comic strip running for a few months in mid 1986 in the Chicago Tribune.

    Anyone know a Dr. Seuss as Theo Lesieg Beginner Book called "Wacky Wednesday" that George Booth illustrated?
