The cartoonist behind some of Scotland's most iconic comic characters has died at the age of 89.
David Sutherland, the artist of Beano’s Bash Street Kids, spent more than 60 years with the DC Thomson magazine. He began illustrating the strip in 1962 until he drew his final edition at the end of last year.
Mr Sutherland, who lived in Invergordon in the Highlands, has been described as the "single most important illustrator in Beano history" by the editor of the children's comic.
