A non-notable cartoonist for Massachusetts newspapers. Best I could do by way of WP:SIGCOV was this trivial mention in a college textbook and this local history of Lake Quannapowitt and Wakefield, Massachusetts. Was anthologized in a couple of books of "year's best cartoons" but I don't think that's enough to meet WP:NARTIST or WP:NAUTHOR. Article used to claim he won something called the "Clayton Kirk Award for Political Satire" until I looked that up and realized it was fake. Notability tagged since March 2009.

• Delete the sourcing does not add up to passing any notability guidelines we have for artists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:14, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:SIGCOV. Almost all of the sources are by him, not about him. Bearian (talk) 21:26, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
