Two years later, in 1978, he returned to the advertising industry, but continued his fortnightly 'Edna' cartoons in Rural News and other agricultural papers in New Zealand and Australia. Evans returned cartooning for the New Zealand Herald in 1997 and was judged NZ cartoonist of the year in 1999. In 2003, he was let go from the New Zealand Herald, following controversy over his cartoons depicting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
