Tragedy struck the comics industry Tuesday morning when Doug Marlette, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist and creator of the religiously-themed strip Kudzu, was killed in an auto accident in Mississippi. Marlette was the passenger in a vehicle that struck a tree after the driver lost control in heavy rain. Read the full story at WashingtonPost.com or the News & Observer.
This is a truly sad day for the strip.
I loved that cartoon.
