Bob Muirhead, 1942/43-2009



The Salmon Arm Observer reports that their cartoonist of 20 years, Bob Muirhead, died on Sunday in his home. Muirhead was a school counselor as a day job but managed to become a prolific editorial cartoonist on the side, providing 20 years worth of weekly cartoons to the newspaper and participating in several regional and small paper contests along the way (the above is a 2005 contest winner). Muirhead was also syndicated, which allowed the cartoonist to comment on matters outside of the small town. Muirhead moved to Salmon Arm from Vancouver, where he had worked for that city's school system. The memorial article notes Muirhead's struggle to return to the drawing board after a stroke a few years ago. He was 66 years old.
