Odd timing.
LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) _ Brant Parker, who for decades illustrated “The Wizard of Id” comic strip, has died just days after the passing of his collaborator. He was 86.
Parker died Sunday at a nursing facility in Lynchburg of complications from Alzheimer’s disease and a stroke he suffered last year, said Kathy Kei, an editor of “The Wizard of Id” at Creators Syndicate.
Eight days earlier, the strip’s writer, cartoonist Johnny Hart, died of a stroke, according to his wife. He was 76.
