WaPo architectural cartoonist Roger K. Lewis RIP

Roger K. Lewis, architect who explored the capital with wry eye, dies at 83

For more than 30 years, Mr. Lewis's Shaping the City column and his drawings in The Washington Post tracked the region's evolution.

By Brian Murphy

October 8, 2024 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2024/10/08/roger-lewis-architect-post-dies/

...The subjects could often be weighty, but Mr. Lewis approached them with a distinctive wit that was distilled in his sketches — usually one-panel cartoons with commentary that carried a bite but was never mean.... In one drawing, a couple drives down a street with a moving trailer in tow. "Finally," one says. "Northern Virginia." The other replies: "And what a relief! It looks like northern New Jersey." In 2001, he sketched two people looking at a D.C. rail expansion plan. An idea pops up for financing: Tax all the property owners whose names contain any of the letters M, E, T, R and O.
