Comic Riffs is getting back in the swing, and has "'Riffs in Review: Remembering 10 cartooning greats who died in 2010," By Michael Cavna, 01/3/2011, online now. I would quibble with some choices, but it's a good starting list of 'big name' cartoonists lost in 2010.
A few days earlier, D.D. Degg had posted a his list of losses in comic art to a Comic-Strip-Classics, a comic strip history email list that I'm on, so I asked his permission to repost it. Here it is, with suprisingly little overlap with Cavna's list:
These are cartoonists who had a connection to comic strips, editorial cartoons and magazine cartoons.
Someone else will have to add those who didn't drift into those genres from animation (Rudy Larriva, Alex Anderson) or comic books (Valerie Barclay, Vic Dowd) or elsewhere.
If someone wants to post it elsewhere, they have my blessing.
