The late comic artist and beloved cartoonist Peter Woolcock is featured on a website highlighting the sale of some of his original works.

Mr Woolcock, 88, an iconic political cartoonist, whose work regularly featured in The Royal Gazette,died in 2014 while walking through Hamilton.

He was the creator of a cartoon strip called Douglas the Dachshund — the source of original pieces now being auctioned by the British-based Worthy Down Books on the online marketplace Catawiki.

The three monochrome watercolour and ink drawings on board, listed as having been commissioned for Jack and Jill magazine in the 1970s, are promoted on the site www.downthetubes.net, which is run by the article’s author John Freeman.

Mr Freeman, a comics and magazine editor and writer, detailed Mr Woolcock’s life and works, including his time in Bermuda.

The article outlines how Mr Woolcock moved to Bermuda in the 1980s, beginning a second career as a political cartoonist.

Initially his work featured in the Bermuda Sun, followed by the Royal Gazette after Mr Woolcock was poached by its then-editor David White.

The article said Mr Woolcock turned to political cartooning late in his career.

“In 1983, two years after coming to Bermuda and about the same time as a General Election, he found the urge irresistible,” it said.

“He created caricatures of countless politicians over the years, including former Bermuda premiers Alex Scott and Sir John Swan.”

On Mr Woolcock’s death, the late Tim Hodgson, a former editor of the Gazette, spoke of his “priceless treasure trove of Bermuda’s modern history”.

Mr Hodgson’s words are included in the article along with those of Sir John, who said at the time of Mr Woolcock’s passing: “Peter’s cartoons every Friday were something everybody looked forward to. He has done so much for Bermuda.”

Mr Woolcock’s cartoons were immortalised in 26 annual collections titled Peter Woolcock’s Woppened.
