Jack Kirkbride, the longtime cartoonist of the Oldham Chronicle News whose work appeared in several newspapers at home and abroad including the Daily-Mirror as well as in magazines Punch and Private Eye, died suddenly last week at the age of 83. A veteran of World War II, Kirkbride stated his longest-running gig in the late 1950s and didn't become a full-time cartoonist until the 1970s. This archived obituary states that it took him 40 years to meet the lifelong goal of getting into Punch.
