Three retired cartoonists of famous strips to look out for next year:

Wally Fawkes (Trog) [97 next year] drew Flook for the Daily Mail & very briefly for the Daily Mirror

Enrique Romero [91 next year] drew Axa for The Sun 

Bill Tidy [88 next year] drew The Fosdyke Saga for The Daily Mirror

[Spade_Cooley 9,525]

Could have sworn Bill Tidy was dead, so I did some research and found out he had a stroke last November.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

Master illustrator Charles Boyer passed away on February 8th.

Boyer began his Disney career as a temporary portrait sketch artist at Disneyland in 1960. However, his job was anything but temporary — he eventually became Disneyland’s first full-time artist and illustrator.  Just after six months of working at Disneyland, he became an illustrator for its marketing and advertising art department. He went on to work for the company for 39 years, working in a variety of media. One of his most well-known works is “A Disneyland Tribute to Firefighters.”

Boyer retired from Disney in 1999.

By that I think SC means he knows how to copy and paste large chunks from articles, and he wants credit for this.

 

A big boy sticker for you.

He's always been in our sights for his gaunt, haggard look. But now he probably thinks he can live long enough to finish this.

QOs across the board, which means that anime and manga artists are now on the radar as possible DDP picks.

Berserk seems to have been a very big thing, as they've made video games, statues, action figures, lighters, keyrings, books out of it.

 

 

I did some research, here's some known manga/anime creators mentioned on wikipedia's manga/anime portal:

 

Hayao Miyazaki (b. 1941) A name that nearly anyone who has heard of anime or manga recognizes. He's the co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a giant anime studio and probably the most known alive manga/anime creator. One of his most famous creations is Totoro. Has had heart problems in the 2010s, also used to smoke like a chimney. Another co-founder of Studio Ghibli, Isao Takahata (1935-2018) died of lung cancer and Miyazaki has admitted to smoking near him.

Satoshi Tajiri (b. 1965) and Ken Sugimori (b. 1966) The creators of Pokemon. They're in their 50s but when the time comes, they'll be talked about everywhere.

Yuko Shimizu (b. 1946) and Shintaro Tsuji (b. 1927) The creators of Hello Kitty, Shimizu was the designer, Tsuji created the company and probably made the stories. Much older than the creators of Pokemon. Tsuji's retirement last year was mentioned on BBC and Independent.

Hideaki Anno (b. 1960) Creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion, a religion-related anime that started in the 90s. Licensed by Netflix, total revenue of an estimated 11.9 billion dollars. Anno has had serious mental problems before.

Akira Toriyama (1955-2024) Created Dragon Ball. No known health issues.

Yoshiyuki Tomino (b. 1941) Created Gundam in the 70s.

Tetsuo Hara (b. 1961) Creator of the Fist of the Northern Star.

 

Not so sure if they'll get a QO:

Yukinobu Hoshino (b. 1954) Writer of 2001 Nights. Work acknowledged by the British Museum and was on display 2009-2010.

Mamoru Hosoda (b. 1967) Has done multiple movies.

Yoshiaki Kawajiri (b. 1950) Has done multiple movies.

Tomoharu Katsumata (b. 1938)

Koichi Mashimo (b. 1952)

Masami Kurumada (b. 1953)

Leiji Matsumoto (1938-2023) and Miyako Maki (b. 1935) Mangaka couple. Matsumoto suffered severe respiratory problems and was in critical condition in 2019.

Shinji Mizushima (1939-2022) Baseball manga author.

Hideko Mizuno (b. 1939) Known in the 1960s.

Go Nagai (b. 1945) Horror/Erotica manga creator
