Guy Keverne Body, born 1967, started cartooning at Takapuna Grammar School, in Auckland. The cartoons in question were generally obscene versions of Sesame Street or The Wombles. He has worked as a cartoonist and newspaper artist since 1986, when he joined NZ Truth. At the very start of his career, he had the privilege of meeting Sir Gordon Minhinnick, NZ’s foremost cartoonist, who advised him: to go somewhere and learn how to draw. Since then he has done work for the Auckland Star, NZ Herald, and The Scotsman (though the last was basically 5 years of drawing business graphs). This has been accompanied by occasional book illustrating. He has been cartooning for the New Zealand Herald since 2004 in a back-up capacity to Rod Emmerson.
