The following video is from the British Pathe website and includes, amongst the luminaries on display, Frederick Joss (of the Star), Norman Williams (who drew various biographical strips for Eagle), Harold Hodges (Daily Express), Arthur Ferrier ('Spotlight on Sally', News of the World), Roland Davies ('Come on Steve', Dispatch), Norman Pett (creator of 'Jane', Daily Mirror), Trog (Wally Fawkes, Daily Mail), 'Uncle' Leslie Illingworth, Spot (Arthur Potts, 'Teddy Tail', Daily Mail), Leo Dowd, Gall (News of the World).
This film-reel, like other British Pathe news reels, is available in far higher resolution at their website -- but hopefully this will give everyone a nice, nostalgic trip back to the days when you could go down a pub called the 'Mucky Duck' and sketch half naked women without having the finger of scorn or suspicion pointed at you. Well done, British Pathe!

OUT NOW! Lion King of Picture Story Papers Click here to order "It's a great read in itself and has sent me back to the Lion comic to re-read some of my childhood favourites. The pictures are reproduced crystal clearly and even this old man can read the original art ... It's a gorgeous book and if we are snow-bound as the media has been saying for weeks, I have plenty to keep me amused this chilly January weekend!" - Norman Boyd.
Sexton Blake Annual 1941 Click here to order "If you've been meaning to give Sexton Blake's adventures a try, this would be a great place to start. I've seen the actual annuals go on Ebay for three or four hundred bucks, so this is definitely a bargain too." - Singular Points.
