Date: 2011
From: Winter, Mark, 1958- : Digital cartoons published in the Southland Times and other papers
By: Southland times (Newspaper)
Reference: DCDL-0018779
Description: Text reads 'Highlanders abandon Southland's representative colour in favour of a green away strip.' Below is a cartoon depicting Kermit the frog thinking to himself 'Yay I'm not MAROONed!' as he says 'RID-OF-IT... Rid-of-it...Rid-of-it...' A second version has the text 'Highlanders abandon Southland's representative colour in favour of a green away jumper.' Context: Kermit is a glove puppet from the children's television show 'Sesame Street'. The Highlanders new strip moves away from the traditional colours of blue and gold with a splash of maroon to a new playing strip believed to be predominantly green, with dark blue and white also included. The decision to have new colours is to underline the fact that the Highlanders are not an Otago, Southland or North Otago team. The Stags colours were largely maroon. There is a play on the word 'maroon' as a colour and the feeling that Southland is being 'marooned' as in 'abandoned.' Two versions of this cartoon are available Alternate version of DCDL-0018778 Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

The main differences are in the dotted lines Mantell has drawn across the island, probably land-sale indicators.

Date: 2010
From: Winter, Mark, 1958- : Digital cartoons published in the Southland Times and other papers
Reference: DCDL-0015367
Description: 'Somewhere... in a galaxy* far, far away...' a scruffy man searching a dump for useful stuff comes across a large document labelled 'Experts'. He realises that he has stumbled across the 'National Health Board Southern Neurological Services Review Panel' and thinks that this 'missing panel of experts...' might be worth sticking on ebay... The asterisk in the heading links to a note nelow that reads 'Auckland - it's the same thing'. The second version has larger text and the third version lacks the words 'might be worth sticking on ebay' and also lacks the 'Auckland' note. Refers to the controversial topic of neurosurgery units in the South Island. Currently both Christchurch and Dunedin provide neurosurgical services, but with the five South Island district health boards (DHBs) agreeing the South Island would be best served by having one hospital providing them, one will be forced to give up. There have been large protests led by the mayors of Dunedin and Invercargill. A report on the issue is due to be presented to Health Minister Tony Ryall in October. The comment about Auckland being a galaxy 'far far away' is a reference about how far away fro Southland, Auckland seems to be. Three versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 3 digital cartoon(s).
