No disrespect meant. I just couldn’t refer to great cartoon dogs WITHOUT mentioning Snoopy. How about maybe: Snoopy is the greatest singular cartoon dog character but Booth’s dogs overall comprise the greatest cartoon dog kennel?
You are such an inspiration to me, Liza. I love the way you capture the world but, perhaps what I love even more is the way you capture the heart of people in your cartoons and your words. In this tribute to George Booth - even if you hadn't included the beautiful photos - I would have seen him in my mind's eye from the way you painted him with your words. I could feel the love, compassion and playfulness that existed in him and in your friendship dancing in the spaces between the words. I feel as though I've somehow been given a gift as each word allowed me to know a little more about this kind soul. Thank you for all you share always and thank you for sharing a small glimpse into an unforgettable soul.
What a lovely comment, and your words are so kind. Thank you. I am glad you got a glimpse of George through my words, that was my hope. You have made my day and its only just begun. Thank you.
I loved George Booth from childhood, purely based on his work. It’s so comforting to know that he was as worthy of admiration as I’d always hoped. How lucky you were to have known each other!
Thank you:)
His understanding of the electrical wiring challenges in a NY apartment was genius level.
Haha, so funny!
THE greatest dogs in cartooning. (Sorry, Snoopy, but it’s true.)
Can't make that statement! I love them both!!!

A beautiful tribute!
Thank you, Paul.
Thanks for sharing your memories- always loved his cartoons and view of the world!
How wonderful to learn of the person behind a long time favourite of the magazine, thank you.
A fan of the Booth culture.
Thank you, he was terrific, wasn't he?
So great to see this Tribute! Somewhere up in Heaven George is sitting in with Mrs. Ritterhouse and the band and enjoying himself.
Thank you. Yes, I am sure he is. With the dog as well!
