Ronald Searle, St Trinian's creator, dies

One of the UK's most beloved cartoonists, Ronald Searle, creator of the tearaway girls' school St Trinian's, has died aged 91, his publisher Penguin has announced.
The artist died on 30 December in a hospital near his home in southern France. "[He] passed away peacefully in his sleep, with his children and grandson by his side," Searle's daughter Kate Searle told Reuters.
Best known for his spiky comic drawings depicting the outrageous antics of the St Trinian's girls, and for his illustrations of the Molesworth series, written by Geoffrey Willans and which, as any fule kno, tells of life at the boys' prep school St Custard's

Very saddened to hear this sad news this morning.
RIP Ronald

Very sad news indeed though the good news is he lived until a ripe old age,i lke the st trinians films not the remakes the originals with Alistair Sim and the cast.
RIP Ronald Searle he certainly had a very chaotic sense of humour right up my street.

So good at observation and turning his thoughts into words and pictures. I still have some of his books from decades ago. I will always remember him with a grin 
Thanks for your work Mr Searle.
