Captain Pugwash cartoonist dies

I'm sat here with the theme tune going round in my head now!!

RIP John Ryan

Quote:
Celebrated cartoonist John Ryan, whose most famous creation was Captain Pugwash, has died aged 88.

Edinburgh-born Mr Ryan drew Pugwash as a comic strip for The Eagle in 1950 while an art teacher at Harrow.

The BBC commissioned a series of animated shorts featuring the bumbling pirate using cut-out characters moved by hidden levers.

Mr Ryan, who died at Cottage Hospital in Rye, Sussex, also created Mary, Mungo & Midge and was the Catholic Herald's cartoonist for 40 years.

Editor Luke Coppen said yesterday: "He'll be greatly missed."
