Arizona son, and one of the better political cartoonists.
I’m not familiar with his work, but the obit says he started out as a conservative cartoonist, then trended liberal, apparently making people angry at both ends of his career. I’d like to see an online retrospective.
I mis-read the last name. Got a little exciter there.
Many years ago, Steve Benson spoke to an inter-state convention of high-school journalists (including my classmates and me) in Phoenix. I still remember his passion and conviction. In the best tradition of editorial cartoonists, he knew how to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. RIP.
Me too.
