Veteran cartoonist Moustafa Hussein died Saturday at the age of 79 after a long struggle with cancer.
Hussein had had an operation to remove a tumor in a US hospital and then underwent chemotherapy.
Newspapers falsely announced him dead in mid July, but his wife was fast to deny the news and said he was at the Intensive Care Unit in critical condition.
Hussein was born in 1935 in Cairo.
He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts, department of photography in 1959.
In the 1980s, Hussein created the weekly cartoon magazine, Caricature, along with his fellow cartoonist Ahmed Toughan.
In 2009 Hussein was awarded the Order of Distinction, First Class as well as the State Incentive Award in the Arts of the Supreme Council of Culture (the latter he held again in 2011).
Hussein has two Certificates of appreciation, one from the University of Cambridge (2010) and one from the University of Oxford (2011).
