Farewell to cartoonist after a job well done

“Old cartoonists never die, they merely disappear in the eraser crumbs.” — Tom Toles

So long to a wonderful political cartoon satirist on the Editorial Page, Tom Toles, of The Washington Post.

I’ve enjoyed his work for as long as I can remember. He was not afraid to opine and squash anyone, including world leaders. Nov. 3 was his last day. May he have a long, happy retirement. Thank you, Mercury News, for carrying his stuff.
