These cartoons and sketches have been of varios types but mainly including activity for the diners such as 'spot the difference', 'find items beginning with a letter', 'quiz' even to 'build your own Austin Seven'. In 2025 a book was published detailling the 50 cartoons over the years. The title is given below. He also illustrates his correspondence with little sketches.which are a delight to receive. He was brought up the North of England where he attended Art School leaving with a qualification in Graphic Design. His first job was for the Daily Express in London after he moved to Liverpool with an advertising agency. Later he co-founded the Mouldsworth Motor museum which closed in 2013 after 40 years in operation.
