  • Lobey dosser the sheriff of Calton Creek. The fantastic Glasgow cartoonist Bud Neil created the universe inhabited by the sheriff Lobey Dosser riding on his two legged horse with his nemesis Rank Badjin. Bud Neill is one of my three earliest cartoon and comic heroes and I devoured their stuff before I was even old enough for school.

  • Flook. Flook was a political satire strip with writers such as Compton Mackenzie, George Melly, Barry Took and illustrated by my other favourite cartoonist hero and one of the best caricature artists in the world. The great Wally Fawkes.

    Down the tubes tribute to the late Wally Fawkes, cartoonist.

  • Jeff Hawke. I also loved Jeff Hawke (Science Fiction) by the Dundonian Sydney Jordan. I was a huge fan of these three artists even when I was very young. So young that I had begun to learn to read to appreciate their work even more before I even started school. These three greats were my first and greatest influences when I was very small because they were damned good and I consider myself damned lucky they were available to me so early on in the newspapers my parents read.

  • Chic Harper designs. An ex colleague and great designer. His design of the Scottish Rugby logo particularly impressed me with its economy, effectiveness and simplicity. But it’s only one of his many other great designs in a variety of areas. The latest being book design – in this digital age.
