Cartoonist calls into Children's Unit at Tameside Hospital

Young patients in the Children's Unit at Tameside Hospital were treated to a special drawing masterclass from world-renowned cartoonist Tony Husband.

Tony, cartoonist for current affairs magazine Private Eye for nearly 40 years, and a regular contributor to The Times and Sunday Express, offered his time to entertain children at the Unit.

Tony, who lives in Hyde, even offered personalised drawings to some lucky children, which included a sketch of Marvel superhero Black Panther.

Paula Garlick, Paediatric Matron, at Tameside and Glossop Intregrated Care NHS FT said: “We are extremely grateful to Tony for giving up his time to come and show our children a thing or two about drawing.

“The children were really engaged and enjoyed themselves.

“Tony has even offered to come back again, so we look forward to seeing him soon!”
