Dick Locher Announces Retirement From Political Cartooning

Scott Stantis has a very sweet and succinct piece up on Dick Locher announcing his retirement from political cartooning. Locher left his gig doing art for the Dick Tracy strip in 2011. Stantis notes that Locher was an accidental political cartoonist, securing the gig in his early forties after years of work assisting Chester Gould on Tracy. He won a Pulitzer in 1983, ten years into what became a distinguished 40 years in that business, now much faded in terms of number of cartoonists and political pull from even those days. Mr. Locher is a very well-liked man, and I imagine everyone wishes him well in whatever he'd like to do with the extra time freed up by leaving this gig.
