| biography:
| Comic postcard artist, born in London, UK. A junior to a naval architect, he studied cartooning by correspondence course. In 1905 he sold his first comic card for six shillings to Asher's Pictorial Postcards - two million copies were sold. Famous for his outsize women in bathing costumes, paddling alongside weedy henpecked husbands, and for the double meanings in his captions, he did not receive critical attention until 1941. He is estimated to have drawn 500 cards a year over 50 years. |
