Frank Dickens

Frank William Huline-Dickens (9 December 1931 – 8 July 2016) was a British cartoonist, best known for his strip ''Bristow'', which ran for 51 years in the ''Evening Standard'' and was syndicated internationally. According to ''Guinness World Records'', ''Bristow'' was the longest running daily cartoon strip by a single author. The character Bristow is even one year older than that, as he debuted in Dickens' older series ''Oddbod'' in ''The Sunday Times'' in 1960. Due to his popularity, he received his own spin-off series soon afterwards. Dickens broke the original record held by Marc Sleen, whose ''The Adventures of Nero'' was drawn for 45 years without any assistance. However, even Dickens' record has been broken in his turn by Jim Russell, whose series ''The Potts'' ran for 62 years. Dickens received eight awards for "Strip Cartoonist of the Year" from the Cartoonists' Club of Great Britain. Provided by Wikipedia
