About the series
Carl Giles's long-running comic series, published by Beaverbrook from 1946 to 1977, spanned 31 issues of sharp, satirical single-panel cartoons. Best known for his iconic "Giles" annuals and his work with the Daily Express, the strip was most frequently penned by writer David Frost. A cornerstone of British post-war humor, Giles's distinctive, warmly chaotic depictions of family life and social absurdity captured the nation's mood for over three decades.
