New Yorker cartoonist Charles Barsotti passes at age 80

New Yorker cartoonist Charles Barsotti has passed away at age 80.

From the New York Times:

“He got the maximum out of the minimum,” said Robert Mankoff, cartoon editor of The New Yorker magazine, which has published nearly 1,400 Barsotti cartoons since the 1960s. “With just a few lines he could delineate a hobo, a spy, a king, a philosopher, a dog, a judge, all those in the same picture.”

  1. One of the greatest. Often in just a few spare lines and words, he could tell us everything we needed to know about the human race – and the dog race. Thank you Charles Barsotti.
