Charlie was a top artist at D.C. Thomson from the 1950s through to the early 1990s, drawing strips such as Korky the Cat, Charlie the Chimp, The Red Wrecker, The Umbrella Men and more for The Dandy, and Splodge, Foxy, and others for The Topper. He also illustrated many covers for Summer Specials and annuals. After leaving comics, he illustrated saucy seaside postcards, all with his usual high standard of cartooning. He passed away in 2013.
