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.
