Gordon Bell is an artist who lives in the UK. From the 1960s onward he has worked extensively for D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd, publishers of The Beano and The Dandy comics (among others). His sketchy, breezy cartoon style places the emphasis firmly on the foreground characters, with the backgrounds often consisting solely of a blank wall, a townscape silhouette or bleak scrubland. His regular strips over the years have included: Jump to: navigation, search The 1960s in its most obvious sense refers to the decade between 1960 and 1969, but the expression has taken on a wider meaning over the past twenty years. ...

Pup Parade still made appearances in The Beano into the 2000s, still drawn by Bell, who had drawn the strip since it started in 1967. Most of his work involves animals as main characters, although two such exceptions were Jimmy Jinx and Spoofer McGraw. In all his strips he regularly uses quirky comic details and side comments in his strips, such as smaller captions denoting to the reader (who might otherwise miss such details) that Smiffy was not only too lazy to move, but also sitting on a tack.
