I have a guess, but maybe I’ll wait a little for more confirmation. Unfortunately I don’t know from memory the precise year he died, but its probably in the ballpark.

As a general clarification of your previous answer do you consider single panel daily cartoons such as the Farside as distinct from Comic strips?

I would consider a single panel **daily** cartoon, such as The Far Side or _shudder_ Family Circus a comic strip. I would not consider occasional single panel cartoons, such as found in _The New Yorker_ or _Playboy_ or the editorial page of a newspaper to be a comic strip.
