Mrs Dickens and her droopy Dundees.....
Advert for Echo margarine from Family Circle magazine, issue dated February 1969. The 'Mrs Dickens' would refer to the wife (or perhaps mother) of the artist, one Frank Dickens, creator of 'Bristow', the longest running strip cartoon by a single author, which ran for 41 years from 1961. Somewhere I have a pile of old Bristow books; I must search them out and do a few scans for a future post.......
Those drawings are great! Such an economy of line and means. You had my attention there with the droopy dundees. Shades of my school days, when as tuck-shop prefect (you could have guessed that, eh?) I somehow managed to break the Dundee biscuits so that they couldn't be sold...
