Here as promised is Ron Cobb's cartoon upon news of Phil Och's tragic suicide, run in the LA Vanguard 4/16/76

We got word of Phil Ochs' death as the ninth issue of our paper was about to go to the printer. Ron Cobb, a close friend of Phil's, quickly did this cartoon for the edition and we ran the below notice in the same issue. In my opinion it's one of the most understated, and simultaneously most powerful, cartoons Ron drew for our paper.

Where's Phil now when he's so badly needed?
