Very sad news. Cartoonist Howie Schneider, best known for his comic strip "Eek & Meek," died yesterday after complications from heart surgery.
The Provincetown Banner, where he had been working as an editorial cartoonist, has a feature story.
Hat tip to Journalista.
Is it me, or is the cartooning world getting sadder all the time... Again, sigh...
ReplyDeleteI grew up on "Eek and Meek." It was one of the comic strips our local paper carried.
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying Howie's children's books, I would love to see his editorial cartoons for The Banner.
This really saddens me.
I was browsing around looking up "Eek & Meek", which I remember from the 1970's and hadn't seen in thirty years. All the other articles were about how the strip ended after a 35 year run, but this one said something I'd want to know even more.
ReplyDeleteHowie, I hardly knew ye but we did meet after the mice became men.
