Tody I learnt about his passing, leaving me with a vivd memory of the early days of my youth, when I had begun to get deeply interested in cartoons at the age of about 15. Once or twice I happened to see Ardeshir walking calmly along the street, not even noticing me looking at him eagerly. He seemed to be thinking so deeply.
Although we never visited, he was with me through his books I had purchased. I watched his cartoons every now and then, finding out I could never get that rank. However, he was one of the earliest samples of great cartoonists to me. His works were not to give simple answers to simple questions, but to bring viewers to a realm of concepts, encouraging them to think deeply. I have participated in cartoon exhibitions since 1992, owing him for the deep influence of his works on me. He will go on living in my memory until I go ahead.
