Very sad. I’ve probably laughed longer and harder at Ziegler’s cartoons than almost anyone else’s. Yes, Addams, Thurber, Booth, and others were funny, but none of them routinely inspired flat out LOLing as much as Ziegler.

I hadn’t realized until I read Mankoff’s piece that we’ve also lost William Hamilton and James Stevenson recently, too.

Feel free to post your favorite Ziegler cartoons.

May he rest in peace. The “Damn it, Hopkins…” cartoon with the snazzily-dressed guys around the conference table has long been a favorite of mine.
