John Frith

John Frith (1906–2000) was one of Australia's most prominent and prolific cartoonists for more than four decades. His work was printed in The Bulletin, The Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's Herald over his long career. He was also a sculptor and potter, and many of his cartoons and ceramic works are held in the Museum of Australian Democracy's collection.
