Ron Tandberg began producing cartoons for metropolitan newspapers in 1972 when the great Graham Perkin decided to use his work as an integral part of the layout of the front page of The Age.

His insightful cartoons cut through to the essence of the big news stories of the day with razor-like humour. Tandbergs work has been recognised with eleven Walkley awards including two Gold Walkleys.
