Leo Cullum, a gag cartoonist for The New Yorker, has died at the age of 68. The cause was cancer.
Although I never met Mr. Cullum, I always admired his grand cartoons. He was one of the most consistently funny cartoonists I'd read.
I had no idea that he had been battling cancer and this comes as a shock.
NY Times obit here.

Thanks for sharing this. Having battled cancer recently myself, now in remission, my heart goes out to his family.
I really enjoyed Leo's work, too, and have a few of his books.
Can't think of any better epitaph than the laughter that lives on when you're gone!
That's sad news. One of the New Yorker giants.
