Passings | Cartoonist and illustrator Roy Doty, best known for his long-running Wordless Workshop cartoon, has died at age 92. Wordless Workshop, which ran in Family Handyman
and other similar publications, featured a pipe-smoking handyman who,
when faced with a domestic problem of some sort, would immediately
visualize something he could build, including a simple set of plans.
Doty also illustrated over 100 children’s books, including several by
Judy Blume, and drew a syndicated Laugh-In comic based on the television show Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In.
He had a short-lived show of his own on the Dumont Network in 1953, in
which he told stories and drew cartoons. He won 10 awards from the
National Cartoonists Society, including their Gold Key Hall of Fame
Award, and continued to be an active cartoonist until last year. [Mike Lynch Cartoons]
