Pretty much everything Darian Zam posts on Long White Kid is fascinating to me and in many cases tangentially related to New Zealand cartooning. This recent post on establishing dates for a set of cards showcases some beautiful work done for the Four Square Supermarket chain.

New Zealand Capping Magazines Gallery
University Capping magazines were published in New Zealand from the early decades of the twentieth century through to the last decades although to the best of my knowledge have now ceased publication. Each annual publication featured writing, illustration, cartoons, comics and photos with of a satirical nature. Neville Colvin, Tom Scott, Nevile Lodge, Sid Scales, and Bob Brockie were amongst many of New Zealand's finest cartoonists with work featured in capping magazines.
