Hawley Harris, 1931-2008



The greatly-admired Guyanese cartoonist Hawley Harris died in his home on Thursday morning from complications due to diabetes. He had just turned 77 years old.

Harris worked for the New Nation, Mirror, Stabroek News, Guyana Chronicle and Kaieteur News during a long and distinguished career that included a 1993 win from his country's press association as best cartoonist. He also won a Golden Arrowhead of Achievement from the national government in addition to several other awards. To supplement an already full load of editorial cartoons, Harris did strip work for features such as Little Sue, Betty and Joe, A Little Soap and Edward Riley. He retired in 2000.

He is survived by five children including current Stabroek News cartoonist Paul Harris. Together they have 13 children of their own. Harris will be buried today after a morning funeral. A small selection of his cartoons may be found here.
