British cartoonist Ronald Searle, best known for creating the fictional girls' school St Trinian's, has died aged 91.
His daughter Kate Searle told Reuters news agency that he "passed away peacefully in his sleep" in a hospital in France.
Searle's spindly cartoons of the naughty schoolgirls first appeared in 1941, before the idea was adapted for film.
The first movie version, The Belles of St Trinian's, was released in 1954.
