Mac 2016: Cartoons from the Daily Mail (Mac: Cartoons from the Daily Mail)

by Stanley McMurtry (Illustrator)

Synopsis

A brilliant new collection from the Daily Mail's inimitable talent, Mac. 'Mac is, quite simply, Britain's greatest living cartoonist. Mac's humour is warm' Paul Dacre, Editor of the Daily Mail. 'In terms of the quality of his drawing and the quickness of his wit, I reckon Mac is without equal. He is a cartoonist of genius' Gyles Brandreth. Mac's wonderful cartoons should be, must be, the first port of call for any sane Daily Mail reader. Day after day, indeed year after year, he brightens the morning with wit and superb draughtsmanship, sometimes making a serious point, sometimes an hilarious one, often both at once. You don't have to believe me, but after you've taken even the briefest look at the wonderful artistry reproduced herein, you will' Tim Rice.

Author Bio
Stanley McMurtry was born in Edinburgh. Attended Birmingham College of Art (1950-53) but was interrupted in 1954 by two years of national service in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. A freelance cartoonist working under his own name on children's comics Wham! and Buster and Punch. Under his pen name Mac and for over 46 years, Mac amuses the nation with his cartoons for the Daily Mail. Huge editorial pressure means of the twenty or more designs he produces each week, only four are published. Mac's approach is essentially apolitical, a stance proved popular not only with the public but also his peers. Mac was granted an MBE by HM The Queen in 2003 for 'services to the newspaper industry'.
