rickee Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 The very talented cartoonist, Ronald Searle has passed away in France at 91. He was a prolific artist with a unique, quirky style. Most here may remember his 1966 TV Guide cover of Lucy, where he spent time on the set of "The Lucy Show" and the magazine published his article and artwork. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ronald-searle-st-trinians-school-artist-death-277570 Here are a few other 1960's TV Guide covers as a small tribute to this very talented man: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magster Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 RIP to a terrific talent. Love that Lucy cartoon. I'd have to say The Beverly Hillbillies cover is my second favorite! Though in reference to the article about Lucy, only someone at Fox News could get away with printing such sexist remarks today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in those days, it was very common which kids today have no idea about. And i agree, the Hillbillies were MY second fave also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark bale Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Never knew he did covers for TV Guide in America. He is of course best known as the creator of St Trinians. He also did the opening titles for THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES, and I think the sequel MONTE CARLO OR BUST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(For TV Guide, he actually did 23 covers from 1965 to 1990 as well as artwork for the inside articles.) A brilliant artist. Here's a blog dedicated to him: http://ronaldsearle.blogspot.com/ Update: I just found out that there is a local exhibit on Ronald Searle here in Los Angeles, starting this Saturday. Timing is everything! http://www2.gallerynucleus.com/gallery/exhibition/335 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
