Few places on the Internet cover British comics from this period so here's a selection of Casey Court half pagers that I've scanned from the back pages of six issues of Illustrated Chips in 1932. Artist Albert Pease at his finest!
Of course you're right, the link with Giles drawings is strong and he's talking warmly about it in his Very Funny Business book. Either way I wasn't aware of Albert Pease works and his drawings are a delight for the eyes - so thanks !
Thanks, Lew.

Thanks, Sid. Sometimes escapism can be useful in times like this.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff...
