German cartoonist Martin Perscheid has died of cancer at age 55.

Perscheid's drawing style has been compared to that of GaryLarson. His themes are usually satirical but often included black comedy and taboo subjects.

Alfie Atkins is the English name for the character. It's about a boy who lives with his dad in a suburb.

She wrote and illustrated 24 books between 1972 and 2012. According to the Swedish wiki page for the series, the books have been translated to 35 different languages.

 

Per Åhlin directed and animated a cartoon series based on these books in the late 70s that has also been translated to English and multiple other languages. The musical score was composed by Czech-Swedish bass player/composer Georg Riedel. Both are still alive, Åhlin is 90 and Riedel is 87.

Not dead, just posting here about Bob Moran. A cartoonist for the Daily Telegraph being a covid denier and openly targeting an NHS doctor on Twitter. He has deleted original tweet but it has been screenshotted. It randomly came on my timeline in last 24 hours and now her legal team/police is involved.

Well, it does look like Irish cartoonist Ken(neth) Mahood died on Dec 30th 2020, which wasn't picked up by us, even though he was picked.

I am not going to adjust the team though -because the replacement hasn't died yet. If it still happens, I will, but not now.

Was he picked for the DDP in 2020? As that Obit was published a few minutes before midnight?

What is that I can hear. The sound of lots of people investigating to see if he is likely to Q/O or not.

 

Sad news through.

Thank you for your very insightful posts Captain Obvious. Without it nobody would ever have thought of checking his QO chances.
