Mr Sutherland made this year’s New Year Honours list and had been made an OBE for services to illustration.After his award was announced in December, the cartoonist said: “When I entered the DC Thomson art competition more than 60 years ago, I couldn’t have guessed where it might lead. Mr Sutherland’s work with DC Thomson began in 1959 when he entered a drawing competition organised by the Dundee-based company.Although he did not win, his entry made a good impression and he was offered the chance to illustrate adventure strips for the comic.
