About the artist:
Charles Saxon, a cartoonist whose elegant drawings deftly deflated the pomposities of the corporate board room and the suburban country club, died of heart failure yesterday at St. Joseph Medical Center in Stamford, Conn. He was 68 years old and lived in New Canaan, Conn.
Mr. Saxon's work appeared in most major magazines, in advertisements for dozens of corporate clients, and in three book collections. He did 725 drawings and 92 covers for The New Yorker magazine, where he had worked as a staff cartoonist since 1956.
One of his best-known and most representative cartoons, which appeared in The New Yorker in 1984, depicts a roomful of corporate executives harking to the wisdom of their board chairman, who is making the pronouncement: ''Of course, honesty is one of the better policies.''
