“Niky” was a cartoonist best known for a wordless series – usually three unframed panels – which appeared at the bottom of the last page of the New Statesman from 1960 to 1962, succeeding a similar strip by “GASK”. By the end of the run “Niky” was also providing cartoons for Queen magazine, and alternating at the New Statesman with Donald Parker, who took over altogether on 13 April 1962.
