Cave Painting Private View submitted by cantona7 : "Private View" Another cartoon drawn for us by Tony Husband (Vote or comment on this photo)
I'm sad to relay the news of the untimely death of Tony Husband - legendary cartoonist and friend of the Portal. Tony's son Paul Husband told us of his memory of exploring megalithic sites with Tony together round Anglesey and other places. A few years back Tony drew a series of wonderful original cartoons for us which you can view on our page here.

Tony wrote in saying he would love to do regular cartoons for us, "I will send them in if that's OK." Well we were delighted - of course! Tony was a key contributor the bonkers comic Oink in the 1980s and went on to work frequently for Private Eye and many other publications right up to his death last week.

Tony also created the wild TV show Round the Bend - you can watch quite a few episodes on Youtube here.

There's more of Tony's work on his Twitter account where you can see he was a big supporter of dementia charities and increasing awareness of this awful affliction. You can see Tony's final cartoon and read what happened at Louder than War .

With very Best Wishes to Paul and RIP Tony.

He certainly was a caring, well-loved man.
