In that relatively\u00a0 brief span he reached the top of his profession as a political and humorous cartoonist and was showing off the best of his talents as a visual satirist when the bell tolled so suddenly for him.\u00a0 At the time of his passing he was acknowledged as having been for the previous thirty five years\u00a0 Sri Lanka\u2019s best political cartoonist after Aubrey Collette.\u00a0 Mark\u00a0 took over the mantle of Collette \u00a0after Lake House editors Cecil Graham, Tarzie Vittachchi and Cartoonist Collette were compelled to flee the country to escape imprisonment \u00a0for their\u00a0 journalistic disapproval of\u00a0 the new Political Masters\u00a0 who had replaced the old UNP regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080; font-size: 24px;\">Mark\u2019s whole formal education was at St.Benedict\u2019s where from a very young age he had displayed a prodigious talent for drawing \u00a0and cartooning.\u00a0 Although he dropped out from Commercial studies at College around 1950\/51, he was\u00a0 acclaimed by his friends and teachers and received the best tutoring and guidance by that \u00a0legendary Art Master KS Perera .\u00a0 Mark did also study briefly under Mudaliyar Amerasekera and followed\u00a0 a stint at the Heywood (later Government) College of Fine Art in Colombo when portrait specialist JDA Perera was principal.\u00a0 Soon after Mark found his first employment as a steno-typist with the Free Lanka Insurance Company.\u00a0 In September 1953 Mark married his teen-aged sweetheart Leonie and Fortune smiled broadly when shortly after The Lake House Newspaper Group offered him a job as cartoonist on the `Dinamina\u2019 .\u00a0 This paper\u00a0 was in Sinhala \u00a0and at that time had a wider readership than the Ceylon Daily News.\u00a0 I believe Mark coped because he got peer help with translations\u00a0 and technical issues \u00a0and anyway\u00a0 management quickly transferred him\u00a0 to work in the more familiar English medium of `The Daily News\u2019.\u00a0 His skills blossomed as a very astute and humorous political commentator and the icing\u00a0 came when Mark created his iconic character strip-cartoon `Simple Simeon\u2019 \u00a0\u00a0In today\u2019s idiom \u00a0`Simple\u00a0 Simeon\u2019 went viral and to those\u00a0 aged enough to recall it remains as Mark\u2019s fabulously\u00a0 autobiographical, droll and very hilarious visual cartoon legacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080; font-size: 24px;\">My brother was warmly befriended by Presidents Jayawardene and Premadasa and was honoured with a presentation on national televison\u00a0 by the former.\u00a0 President JR in fact had his own personal collection of his favourite Mark Gerreyn cartoons which are to be found in the book `JR in Cartoons\u2019 edited by the JR Jayawardene Cultural Centre.\u00a0 Mark won international recognition\u00a0 when the prestigious International Pavilion of Humour honoured him five times over a period of ten years\u00a0 and The International Salon of Cartoons selected his cartoons on nuclear war and the horror of famine as exceptional works for year 1986.\u00a0 Uniquely these plaudits came for Mark after he had moved on from his long service with Lake House and\u00a0 served the `Sun\u2019 and `The Island\u2019 in turn as\u00a0 their leading cartoonist.\u00a0\u00a0 His last two cartoons were published posthumously \u00a0one on\u00a0Friday\u00a0the 17<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0November 1989 \u2013 poignantly barely twenty-fours after he had passed away.\u00a0 The second and final work titled `Born Shri\u201d appeared\u00a0 on\u00a0Sunday\u00a0the 19<sup>th<\/sup>November 1989 in\u00a0 `The Weekend Sunday\u2019.\u00a0 On the Monday of 20<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0November\u00a0 a Tribute by a colleague titled `He left an indelible Mark in Lankan media\u2019 was published in the `Sun\u2019 \u2013 written with such admiration, description and\u00a0 fondness that it swells me with heart-bursting pride to know that I was privileged to have had Mark as my own flesh and blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080; font-size: 24px;\">Mark\u2019s family and mine and St.Benedict\u2019s\u00a0 couldn\u2019t be prouder\u00a0 of\u00a0 a pupil who Left A Mark!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &#8220;A PROUD BENEDICTIAN&#8221;\u00a0\u2013 By Des Kelly St. Benedict&#8217;s College, in Ceylon, as I remember it, was another famous Catholic School from which emerged many Benedictians who left College to make a name for themselves in various fields of endeavour.
