\u00a9 Bob Godfrey @Procartoonists.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We are sad to note that Bob Godfrey<\/a>, the much-loved cartoonist behind Roobarb and Custard<\/a> (above) and the equally wonderful Henry’s Cat<\/a>, has passed away at the age of 91. Obituaries for the Oscar-winning animator can be found at The Guardian<\/a>, The Telegraph<\/a> and the BBC<\/a>. The Guardian also offers a guide to Godfrey’s career in clips<\/a>. In a sad coincidence, Richard Briers<\/a> – who narrated Roobarb – died last Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph is celebrating 25 years of pocket cartoons by Matt Pritchett<\/a>, with a series of short videos in which the cartoonist discusses his work and looks back over his career so far. Begin by finding out about Matt’s typical day<\/a>; other clips look at his first front-page gag<\/a>, the tricks of the trade<\/a>, his favourite cartoon of 2013 thus far<\/a>, and how he’s turning into one of his characters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jamie Smart<\/a> has plans for a new children’s comic, initially to be made available online for free, in which all characters will be creator-owned. He is on the lookout for cartoonists to join his Moose Kid Comics project – for which he hopes to attract investors and subsequently launch in print form. Read more and find out how to get involved here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, a Google doodle <\/a>on Friday celebrated what would have been the 88th birthday of Edward Gorey<\/a>. See the doodle at full size here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
