Stan Hunt 1929-2006 passes away
From The Pilot (North Carolina) comes the sad news of the passing of Stan Hunt who was their editorial cartoonist for about 9 years. He was also an illustrator and a golf columnist. He was 77 years old.
After his military service, Hunt attended New York School of Art, where he studied airbrush and photo retouching. He then worked with famous New York cartoonist Willard Mullin to learn the art of cartooning.
“Their styles were very similar,” his son said.
Hunt had worked as a cartoonist for the New York World Telegram and then at the St. Petersburg Times in Florida. He spent more than a decade as the editorial and sports cartoonist for The Springfield Union daily newspaper in Springfield, Mass. He also worked for a time for The Charlotte Observer.
