I have been emailed this page of original art but cannot identify the artist. It may have appeared in one of Morecambe and Wise's fun books. There is a pencilled note correcting the spelling of Morecambe's surname.

I can't help with where it appeared but it looks like it's signed Chas Sinclair + D.G. Chas Sinclair provided art for a Quick on the Draw book by Denis Gifford.

He also drew the cover for another Gifford-edited publication, Melvin's Money Fun.

Sinclair was also one of the artists on the Basil Brush strip in TV Comic and later drew for Oink!

Thanks. I have a collection of TV comic and always wondered who drew Basil Brush as well as the TV Terrors. I'll let the person know what you discovered.

You can see an example of Sinclair's Basil Brush in this post on Lew Stringer's old Blimey! blog.

I believe TV Terrors was drawn by Bill Titcombe.

Loving the Morecambe and Wise art.

No the TV Terrors was nothing like Titcombe's work. Also TV Terrors was never signed and Bill usually signed his work.

He certainly drew the strip at some point...



It does appear that he changed his style at various times: https://downthetubes.net/comic-artist-b ... checklist/
