Tony Auth, 72, of Wynnewood, the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and mainstay of The Inquirer's editorial page for four decades before resigning in 2012 to become a digital artist, has died.
Mr. Auth had been under treatment for metastatic brain cancer. David Leopold, his friend and curator, said he died at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania on Sunday, Sept. 14, four days after his supporters announced a fundraising effort for an archive devoted to his work at Temple University.
Mr. Auth's remarkable career began in 1971 when the fledgling artist from California flew in to Philadelphia to interview for the position of editorial cartoonist.

Check out some of his work
on "Bing". The man was a disgusting leftist, pro-abortion, 0bama apologist, gun-control-freak ... At least he will no longer spew poison into the world.

Auth was a typically liberal cartoonist who was particularly nasty to the Tea Party and NRA. But every once in a while he surprised you with a somewhat conservative cartoon. May he rest in peace.

Good riddance. Agree
I'll third that motion. The man was a screaming left wing snob, and I'll not miss any of his crap, digital or ink on paper.

He has a Pulitzer Prize? Proof right there that Auth must have been a pile of dung.

A distant relative. The whole family found his cartoons to be nauseatingly Leftist.
Nevertheless, RIP.

I wish his family condolences and I pray he rests in peace.
Aside from his left wing views I though he was a mediocrity as a cartoonist.
