I was very saddened when Garrick ceased regular cartooning. And even more saddened to learn of his current predicament. With Bob Jones gone he is the only NZer remaining with a traditional sense of humour. I was always amazed at his boldness in todays PC maorified world. But he does live in rural Arrowtown, well removed from the most extreme tribal nutters. I had ssumed with Ngai Tahu's current aggressive confrontational manner he assessed the risk of legal challenge as just too great. I look forward to some parting shots in the Garrick tradition. Presumably he need not worry about prosecution, although with tikanga now recognised, he may not escape their rclutch even when making the angels chuckle.
An excellent interview by Plunket, showing a compassionate side he seldom has opportunity to reveal.
Part 2 (of 4) is great as well.
Never in our history have we needed people with humour than right now.
Garrick Tremain is exceptional.
Humour is garlic to most of today's self centered, self promoting radicals, in and out of parliament.
Thankyou sir.
You are a true Kiwi.
Well said, Robert.
I endorse your comments 110%.
I .too. was saddened to hear of Garrick's predicament . We used to have some good comedy as well as Garrick , but now there is so much bitterness , sourness and aggression . Marxism has done this and CRT is to blame for the sensitivity to criticism. Billy Te James used to have humour about Maori. Nobody thought it was racist Maori were able to laugh to joke about themselves.
