John M. Baer, revisited

 11 1/2 years ago, I ran across the name of a local political cartoonist, and tracked down some info about him:

Henry Elderman? John M. Baer? UPDATED. (February 1 2010): https://comicsdc.blogspot.com/2010/02/henry-elderman-john-m-baer.html

John M. Baer. (February 2 2010): https://comicsdc.blogspot.com/2010/02/john- 

So who was editorial cartoonist John M Baer anyway? (February 9 2010): https://comicsdc.blogspot.com/2010/02/so-who-was-editorial-cartoonist-john-m.html

and then completely forgot about him until Stuart McIntire found an obituary for him and put it on Facebook with a link to my previous posts. 

Vienna, David. 1970. Cartoonist John Baer, 83, Dies, Coined FDR's 'New Deal' Slogan. Washington Post (February 23)

With his permission, here's Stu's scan of the obituary:
