I just read the news of the death of Princetonian and New Yorker cartoonist par excellence Henry Martin ’48, and thought he’d like me to share as his fitting memorial a classic cartoon he drew for me in 1976 while I was completing my doctorate at Princeton in art history and commuting to Scribner publishing, where my dad was publishing Henry’s two collections of cartoons: Good News/Bad News and Yak, Yak, Yak, Blah, Blah, Blah (both in 1977). The first prompted a long-running syndicated cartoon panel in newspapers under the same title, which I lifted for the book from one of his classic business cartoons, illustrated on the cover. He was unique, and the angels are now chuckling!
