One of my favorite artists, I was fortunate to land a copy of the book a few years ago, I hadn't realised that the artist that produced the characters in the 30's and 40's was the same artist that gave us the TV personality strips in the 50's and early 60's until I read the book but of course it's obvious when you know, I have had a couple of Tshirts printed of Mr Wilson's art from the Happy Days period ..... Thanks for posting this.

Brilliant comic artist who reminds me of the man who drew the original popeye comics, e.c. segar. Thanks for drawing our attention to Roy Wilson. Those Wonder Annual covers are gems!

It seems that I've made a few converts of people, especially in the USA, who weren't aware of Wilson's glorious work, and I'll consider that a success.

Wonderful, Pete. Being American, I never knew Wilson's work so this was a real treat. I can imagine what a major influence he must have had on any budding British artist. The quality of his line and action is outstanding. I will hazard a guess that most illustrators and artists of my generation in the US were influenced by the comics page (as I was). Cartoonists back in the day in the US, the 30s and 40s especially, were real celebrities; I've even seen some ads as they tout cigarettes and other products. How about in the UK? Admittedly, not everyone thought cartoon strips artists were respectable, but for a while, it was the comic artists that actually sold the papers (If I recall the story, correctly, Hearst, the newspaper mongol, paid a handsome sum to get Windsor McCay's LITTLE NEMO in his papers to sell more). Thanks for this insight into a comic talent on the other side of the Big Pond. Take care, Pete!

Hello Doug and thanks again for your appreciation. And to answer your question, over here children's comic artists were - and are - treated with a tolerant disdain at best, and anonymity is their destiny in the majority of cases. Wilson is a perfect example of this. Leo Baxendale is another (well worth a look). On the other hand cartoonists and humorous illustrators from H. M. Bateman and Heath Robison through to Scarfe and many others do get to be household names and even celebrities. But it seems I'm introducing Wilson's work to quite a few hopeful converts on both sides of the ocean. Over and out for now.

I just love all the work you do so that we can enjoy all of these illustrators. You are the best!

How fun is this!! Utter chaos happening in every sketch but in the end, nobody is really hurt and the 'chaotickers' get away scot free. Or should I say "Scot" free? These strips immediately reminded me of some other comic, or comics, with similar wild themes and boisterous artwork, but it took a while to figure it out. Your reference to the 50s brought it back. When I was in 4th grade, I had a Scottish-born teacher, who linked up whoever wanted one, a pen pal from Scotland (did I mention her once before?). I quickly said yes and even though Valerie was a year or two ahead of me, we wrote each other for a couple of years. And over that time, she sent me maybe half a dozen "Bunty" comic 'readers'? Not sure what to call them but they were larger than regular comic books that I knew of. They were amazingly chock-full of wonderful series ie The Four Marys, and a ballerina named Moira, and others all very new and different - far more sophisticated from Archie/Jughead I was used to. But there was one that stood out similar to Roy Wilson's work - a strip called "Toots", a little girl who always got into some kind of mishap, like Wilson's characters, and like his, always managed to get out of them mostly unscathed. LOL I still have those Bunty's packed away somewhere, saved for decades now. I think I know where they are...and a revisit is most certainly due. Thanks for the lovely reminder, Pete! It's been fun taking more time to go through Roy's works also, just to admire his uncanny ability to portray humanity in all its pompous silliness yet never wavering from the truly "cartoon" form with just a simple yet also genius stroke of the pen. And then what fabulous bonus material added, to see his preliminary sketches!!! Top form video, Pete - thanks again, as always. :)

Never the miscreant tho, mine was a mostly tame suburban childhood. lol As for "Judy" comics, a friend visiting the UK years later brought me back a sample but IMO it just didn't compare to Bunty, namesake or otherwise.

I'm a big fan of Roy Wilson as well, even though his work was never easy to find in America. I read the reason he worked in 2-3 panel chunks was because he was such a perfectionist he would rework an entire panel from scratch if he felt he made a single mistake. I guess one of the reason's his comics are so energetic, he cut in whichever panel had the best energy. Besides the art of Roy Wilson book, Happy Days and the Encyclopedia of British Comics have great examples.

This was wonderful! These drawings are - in my opinion - perfect examples of the ' English style of cartooning'! His drawing-style reminds me of the cartoons I read in the Sixties, especially the cartoons that originated from British publications. For example, the early Billy Bunter cartoons (that were published in the Netherlands as 'Billie Turf', in the weekly-published 'Sjors'-magazine). His drawing-style is also visible in work from other artists, who could be drawing inspiration from Roy Wilson (I am sure I see familiair lines drawn by Mr Giles). We loved this!

With respect to your questionings on him not doing book illustrations I would say that he probably felt constrained to just a few illustrations by book rather the the full pages that he would usually do, or maybe it was a question of honor, after all comicbook work was used to be seen as a lesser art and he was traying to prove a point.
