A fine and lovely example of this profound work

Ronald “Carl” Giles OBE (29 September 1916 – 27 August 1995), often referred to simply as Giles, was a cartoonist who worked for the British newspaper the Daily Express. Giles’s cartoons appeared in the Daily Express newspaper and used his cartoon family to illustrate and comment on topics of the day. ‘Grandma’ seated with knitting appeared in November 1947. His cartoon style was a single topical highly detailed panel, usually with a great deal more going on than the single joke. Certain recurring characters achieved a great deal of popularity, particularly the extended Giles family, which first appeared in a published cartoon on 5 August 1945 and featured prominently in the strip.
