It was only a month or two ago though that I learnt about his schooldays with Richard Ingrams and thus his role in the earliest days of Private Eye not only as wit but most importantly, initially anyway, as cartoonist.
So the famous and wonderful masthead logo was his too then, right from the very first few weeks? Thanks to Humphrey Carpenter and That Was Satire That Was for the enlightenment.
