Description: We all had our favourite funnies pages back in the day, and many of the most beloved strips are still going. Peanuts hit 75 last year, Beano is approaching its 90th birthday and recently, a new illustrator has taken the reigns of the Nancy comics. Meanwhile, the work of political cartoonists continues to thrive in many print newspapers. Dr Greg Treadwell worked as a reporter, photographer and newspaper editor before he joined Auckland University of Technology as a journalism lecturer. He's a big fan of the political cartoon and he joins Anna live to discuss the role of newspaper comic strips in society through the decades.
