Sid Barron, 1917-2006

The Canadian comics-focused site Sequential has run a fine obituary for the cartoonist Sidney Arnold "Sid" Barron, who passed away April 29 in Victoria after years of declining health. A veteran of the short-lived Canadian comic book industry, Barron didn't become a full-time editorial cartoonist until his early 40s. He is best known for having worked 30 years at the Toronto Star, starting in 1961, with stints before and after in Victoria and Calgary. After retirement, he turned his focus to painting, and relocated back west to a place close to the ocean where he enjoyed seaside walks.

Barron is survived by a wife, sister, three children and several stepchildren. He was 88 years old.
