Field Changes
Biography cartoonist, scriptwriter and stand-up comic, was born in London on 5 November 1933. A stand-up comic for thirty years, he first came to Australia in 1964 to appear at Chequers nightclub then 'just stayed and stayed'. Since about 1988 he has been employed as a scriptwriter at Channel 9, so draws few cartoons. Previously, however, he had contributed cartoons to the _Bulletin_ , _Penthouse_ and various other magazines. His cartoon in the B/W Artists' Club collection (ML PxD 586/ G-I) showing two boys saying '"My Dad's a Cartoonist."/ "Mine's a miserable sod too" was reproduced in _Inkspot_ 16 (Autumn 1991), 21 (ML Q741.5994/47) and in Kerr. As a freelance cartoonist NSW, his colour cartoon of a teacher and pupil was reproduced in Rainbow – "What do you know about Federation?"/ "They build nice houses?" – a rare unpredictable view of the topic.
