The South African cartoonist Jerm (Jeremy) (check out his work at http://jerm.co.za) drew this beautifully poignant cartoon about the iconic South African TV news reader Riaan Cruywagen who signed off this evening and read his very last news bulletin on SABC2 exactly 37 years to the day after he started.
Jerm cleverly incorporated the (old) television test pattern into the cartoon to signify the legacy and historical aspect of it all (and of television in South Africa).
He also added another of Riaan Cruywagen's indelible characteristics: his rusty brown hair which in nearly four decades on television never changed.
