Mac hung up his pen in 2018 after nearly 50 years with the Daily Mail. However he yearned to return, saying: “My head was still brimming with ideas.” The peerless cartoonist has picked up his magical pencil again for the Mail on Sunday.
He was presented at the London Press Club awards with the Edgar Wallace Award for outstanding journalism with the judges praising his humour, sharp eye and popularity.
A specially-drawn cartoon by Mac of the Paddington Bear sandwich video at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee was reproduced in the Press Club Awards Lunch programme marking the awarding of Londoner of the Year to Her Majesty.
