Fitz's Opinion: After 40 years in journalism, a cartoonist's chapter draws to a close

I am retiring from my beloved Arizona Daily Star

As of today I am officially retired from my beloved Arizona Daily Star after 36 wonderful years.

A few weeks ago, I visited Mr. Burke, my former 6th grade teacher. He taught me to love cartooning. In a spirit of good humor, he shared with me a beautiful drawing he’d recently created. I said to the old master what he said to me when I was 12. “Shows promise, Mr. Burke.” Throw in a hug and it was the best full circle moment imaginable.

Thanks to Scott Stantis, Chris Britt, Pat Bagley, Jack Ohman, Jim Borgman and Steve Benson, the best cartoonists and the best friends a cartoonist could ever have. Thanks to the ghosts who haunt the newsroom in my heart, the souls who made me the journalist I am. Judy Donovan. Tom Turner. So many others.
