Sir David Low was perhaps this century's greatest cartoonist and Colonel Blimp was one of his finest creations. The walrus-moustached old buffer first appeared in the Evening Standard in 1934 and immediately had the world rocking with laughter at his lunatic aphorisms. Such was his popularity that within four years his 'Gad, sir!' pearls of unwisdom had been translated into twenty-four languages.Here, for the first time, the very best Blimp cartoons, together with articles on the character by Robert Graves, V.S. Pritchett, Lord Elton, Sir Arthur Bryant, George Orwell, Sir Harold Nicolson, Lord Alfred Douglas, C. S. Lewis, Winston Churchill and the artist himself have been assembled to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Sir David Low.
