Title: Todays Sun paper - pg.A2
Post by: blueberry on December 28, 2019, 04:07:12 PM

Great little article on Geoff"s dad Roy. He was a long time illustrator for the Sun and the particular "poster" referred to was indeed very complete and well thought out! You have to be a certain age though to really remember the popularity of his work!!

Here it is online. I'm going to have to look in depth at the Sixties poster - a lot of stuff there!

I've been looking over this beautiful work of art,remembering long-gone people in the news.I have to figure out how to "bigger" it as my sight is not what it was. That goofy looking thing above the"X" is not a muppet;it's an "Ookpik"
