David Fitzsimmons is no longer on staff as editorial cartoonist for The Arizona Daily Star,
he will continue to contribute columns and cartoons as a freelancer.
As of today I am officially retired from my beloved Arizona Daily Star after 36 wonderful years.
In the new year, I’ll continue to submit my columns and cartoons to the Star, only I’ll be a freelance contributor on Medicare A, B and C who is able to take the long vacations I’ve dreamed of taking for years.

Read Fitz informing his fans at The Daily Star and acknowledging those who helped.
This change is huge. I’ve been married to The Arizona Daily Star longer than I was married to three wives.
