Leo Cullum Dies at 68

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.
