Mr. Stevenson shifted easily from light social commentary to a silliness that often had its roots in art, current events or old jokes.

One of his cartoons showed a particularly glum egg and a chicken meeting at a supermarket checkout line. Each has a shopping basket in tow. “Who’s next?” the cashier asks.

Another pictured three frogs on a lily pad. One, a youngster, says, “Tell us again about Monet, Grandpa.”

I enjoyed and laughed at his work over the years.

Thank you, Mr. Stevenson.

Jim, you have become a defacto forum necrologist.

I like this one. Rings true more than ever these days.
