Bio

Jacques Van Wyk’s first satire cartoon appeared in Die Burger in 1962, and the same cartoon appeared in Die Volksblad shortly afterwards. From 1963-66, his work appeared in both papers, signed with his initials (J.M.) and last name. He started training with cartoonist T.O. Honiball when he joined the staff of Die Burger in 1967 to work as a journalist and cartoonist, but stopped cartooning shortly after to concentrate on more literary journalism.
