Comic strip artist Mort Walker  a World War II veteran who satirized the Army and tickled millions of newspaper readers with the antics of the lazy private "Beetle Bailey " died Saturday.  He  was 94.
 Walker  died at  his  home in Stamford  Connecticut  said Greg Walker  his eldest son and a collaborator. His father's advanced age was the cause of death  he said.
 Walker  began publishing cartoons at age 11 and was involved with more than a half-dozen comic strips in  his  career  including "Hi and Lois " ''Boner's Ark" and "Sam & Silo." But  he  found  his  greatest success drawing slacker Beetle   his  hot-tempered sergeant and the rest of the gang at fictional Camp Swampy for nearly 70 years.
The character that was to become  Beetle Bailey  made  his  debut as Spider in  Walker 's cartoons published by the Saturday Evening Post in the late 1940s.  Walker  changed Spider's name and launched  "Beetle Bailey"  as a college humor strip in 1950.
At first the strip failed to attract readers and King Features Syndicate considered dropping it after just six months   Walker  said in a 2000 interview with The Associated Press. The syndicate suggested  Beetle  join the Army after the start of the Korean War   Walker  said.
"I was kind of against it because after World War II  Bill Mauldin and Sad Sack were fading away " he said. But his misgivings were overcome and  Beetle  "enlisted" in 1951.
 Walker  attributed the success of the strip to Beetle's indolence and reluctance to follow authority.
"Most people are sort of against authority "  he  said. "Here's  Beetle  always challenging authority. I think people relate to it."
 "Beetle Bailey"  led to spin-off comic strip "Hi and Lois " which  he  created with Dik Browne  in 1954. The premise was that  Beetle  went home on furlough to visit  his  sister Lois and brother-in-law Hi.
Fellow cartoonists remembered  Walker  on Saturday as a pleasant man who adored his fans. Bill Morrison  president of the National Cartoonists Society  called  Walker  the definition of "cartoonist" in a post on the society's website.
" He  lived and breathed the art every day of  his  life.  He  will be sorely missed by  his  friends in the NCS and by a world of comic strip fans " Morrison said.
Fellow cartoonist Mark Evanier said on his website that  Walker  was "delightful to be around and always willing to draw  Beetle  or Sarge for any of his fans. He sure had a lot of them."
"Beetle Bailey " which appeared in as many as 1 800 newspapers  sometimes sparked controversy. The Tokyo editions of the military newspaper Stars & Stripes dropped it in 1954 for fear that it would encourage disrespect of its officers. But ensuing media coverage spurred more than 100 newspapers to add the strip.
Shortly after President Bill Clinton took office   Walker  drew a strip suggesting that the draft be retroactive in order to send Clinton to Vietnam.  Walker  said  he  received hundreds of angry letters from Clinton supporters.
For years   Walker  drew Camp Swampy's highest-ranking officer  Gen. Amos Halftrack  ogling his secretary  Miss Buxley. Feminist groups claimed the strip made light of sexual harassment  and  Walker  said the syndicate wanted  him  to write out the lecherous general.
That wasn't feasible because the general was such a fixture in the strip   Greg Walker  said Saturday.  His  father solved the problem in 1997 by sending Halftrack to sensitivity training.

A Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman on Tuesday said the US was meddling in Russia ' s coming presidential election by condemning the decision to bar  the opposition candidate Alexei Navalny  from running . " This State Department statement   which I ' m sure will be repeated   is a direct interference in our electoral process and internal affairs  " the spokeswoman wrote . Russia ' s Election Commission barred  Navalny  from running last week   citing a previous embezzlement conviction . The European Court of Human Rights has called that conviction " arbitrary " and " unreasonable ." The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Tuesday accused the US of " direct interference in our electoral process and internal affairs " following the State Department ' s criticism of Russia ' s decision to bar the opposition leader Alexey Navalny from running in the coming presidential election against Vladimir Putin . " This State Department statement   which I ' m sure will be repeated   is a direct interference in our electoral process and internal affairs  " Zakharova wrote Tuesday on Facebook . In a statement shared with Business Insider on Tuesday night   a State Department representative expressed concern over the Russian government ' s " ongoing crackdown against independent voices   from journalists to civil society activists and opposition politicians ." " These actions indicate the Russian government has failed to protect space in Russia for the exercise of human rights and fundamental freedoms  " the statement said . " More broadly   we urge the government of Russia to hold genuine elections that are transparent   fair   and free and that guarantee the free expression of the will of the people   consistent with its international human rights obligations ." " And these people expressed outrage over alleged Russian ' interference ' in their electoral process for an entire year ?!" " The funniest thing is that these are the same people who just tagged RT and Sputnik as foreign agents   who are harassing Russian media around the world and who are investing huge amounts of money into ' countering Russian propaganda  ' which is how they label anyone who they disagree with  " she wrote . A declassified US intelligence assessment of the 2016 election determined that Russian government actors   ordered by Putin   used " cyber tools and media campaigns to influence US public opinion " and " undermine public faith in the US democratic process ." Russian government - linked actors   it said   " began openly supporting President - elect Trump ' s candidacy in media aimed at English - speaking audiences " in March 2016 . Those media outlets included Sputnik and RT   which the report characterized as " the Kremlin ’ s principal international propaganda outlet ." Sputnik and RT ' s US affiliate registered as foreign agents with the Justice Department in November . Navalny to announce ' a voters ' strike ' Navalny   a lawyer and activist   replaced Boris Nemtsov as leader of Russia ' s democratic opposition following Nemtsov ' s 2015 assassination in the shadow of the Kremlin . One day after  Navalny  registered as a candidate for Russia ' s next presidential election   which will be held in March   Russia ' s Central Election Commission barred him from running   citing a previous embezzlement conviction   according to the state - run media outlet RIA - Novosti .  Navalny  has known since February — when  he  was handed a suspended five - year jail term for embezzlement in a case that  his  supporters have characterized as politically motivated — that  he  would not be allowed on the ballot . The European Court of Human Rights determined in October that the conviction was " arbitrary and manifestly unreasonable ." Ella Pamfilova   the head of the CEC   told Russia ' s TV Rain in June that Navalny " understands himself that he has no chance of being registered for the election due to his previous conviction ." She accused him later of " fundraising illegally and brainwashing young people ." Putin   who has refused to utter Navalny ' s name   said during his marathon end - of - year press conference earlier this month that the opposition was hoping for a " coup " but would not succeed . " Do you want us to have coup attempts here ?" " We ' ve already been through all that . You want to go back to that ? I am sure that the overwhelming majority of Russian citizens do not want this and will not stand for it ." Navalny ' s lawyer told CNN on Monday that he would appeal the decision . But  Navalny  has said he and his movement will organize a boycott of the vote if he is not allowed to run . " We are announcing a voters ' strike  "  Navalny  said in a video posted to his blog this week . " The procedure in which we are invited to participate is not an election . It involves only Putin and those candidates whom he personally chose   who do not pose a slightest threat to him ."

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel  has spoken out repeatedly against Trump’s likely step  but  his  latest comments aimed to spell out the impact it would have in starker terms.
“It’s imperative that Europe sticks together on this issue ”  Gabriel   a Social Democrat  told the RND German newspaper group. “We also have to tell the Americans that their behavior on the Iran issue will drive us Europeans into a common position with Russia and China against the USA.”
 Gabriel  is expected to leave  his  post in coming months since  his  Social Democrats have vowed to go into opposition after slumping badly in the Sept. 24 election  opting not to reprise an awkward “grand coalition” with Merkel’s conservatives.
 Gabriel  on Monday urged the White House not to jeopardize the nuclear agreement  saying such a move would worsen instability in the Middle East and could make it more difficult to halt nuclear arms programs in other countries.
In the interview released on Thursday   he  said the nuclear agreement was being treated “like a football” in U.S. domestic politics  but the issue could have serious consequences.
 He  said Russia was watching developments closely  including the divisions between Europe and the United States. “That doesn’t exactly strengthen our position in Europe.”
Ultimately   Gabriel  told the newspaper group  there were only three countries - the United States  Russia and China - that could avert a new nuclear arms race.
