LOS ANGELES

A family member says comic strip artist Mort Walker, who tickled newspaper readers with the antics of the lazy Army private “Beetle Bailey,” has died. He was 94.

Walker’s son, Greg, said his father died Saturday at his home in Stamford, Conn. Greg Walker attributed the cause of death to his father’s advanced age.
