Frank Newman: Garrick Tremain

Garrick Tremain

Sadly, we have been informed that Garrick Tremain passed away painlessly and peacefully last evening in Lakes Hospital. 
Garrick was a truly outstanding individual. 
Not only was he the most talented political cartoonist of our generation, but the man behind the pencil was witty, insightful, fearless, compassionate, and humble. 
RIP Garrick.


Frank Newman, a writer, investment analyst, and Director of the NZCPR, is a former local body councillor.

RIP to one of New Zealand's most insightful political satirist, cartoonists.

Oh that's very sad. I didn't always agree with his sentiments but he clearly had a great insight into so many aspects of NZ society. Go well, Mr Tremain.

They broke the mould unfortunately and there are very few who had the insight, sense of humour, political nous and guts that Garrick displayed. Vale.
