The Loss of a Native Son

North Carolina is mourning the death of political cartoonist Doug Marlette, a native son killed in an automobile accident in Mississippi this morning. To view the cartoons for which he won the Pulitzer prize, go to: http://dougmarlette.com/pages/pulitzTOONS.html

Doug was also well known for his syndicated comic strip Kudzu.

We are fortunate to have a Doug Marlette original, a gift from Doug to my husband many years ago. Doug was a fabulous, brilliant and funny guy who will be greatly missed.
