(1930) Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. Evelyn Chambers

Showcased by Evelyn Chambers

Pip, Squeak and Wilfred was a long-running British newspaper strip cartoon published in the Daily Mirror from 1919 to 1956, as well as the Sunday Pictorial in the early years. It was conceived by Bertram Lamb, who took the role of Uncle Dick, signing himself (B.J.L.) in an early book, and was drawn until c.1939 by Austin Bowen Payne, who always signed as A. B. Payne. It concerned the adventures of an orphaned family of animals. Pip, who assumed the "father" role, was a dog while the "mother", Squeak, was a penguin. Wilfred was the "young child" and was a rabbit with very long ears. Possibly Farnell?
