This is a shocking news to me. He edited and developed many comic strips through his syndicate.

Yes, there were bad sides (he picked up "Mallard Fillmore.")

However, if it wern't for him, we wouldn't have "Mutts" or "Zits" or "Retail" and countless other comic strips we amuse ourselves in our newspapers.

He will be missed.

Wow----that's a surprise...I worked w/him briefly when I was (briefly) doing the MICKEY MOUSE strip for KFS...

That's too bad.
