I found a battered paperback copy of "Uncle" by J.P.Martin and was astonished that this superb children's book has been out of print for years, due to interference by the P-C Thought Police. It was originally illustrated by Quentin Blake but I thought I'd have a shot at it. This is Beaver Hateman from the Badfort gang, hurling abuse at Uncle the trillionaire elephant.

Hi Ellis, I've never heard of these books, but the character looks very funny. Nice work.
I remember Uncle, great.
Great cartoon character--he looks truly pissed.
Great brute. I love his perfectly balanced butt.
The British tolerate eccentrics. This explains why there are so many good cartoonists in Britain.
