Walter Goetz

A sort of British Laurel and Hardy, 'Colonel Up and Mr. Down', was in fact drawn by a German: Walter Goetz. Naturalised in the early 1930's, his strip began in the Daily Express in 1934 and continued into the war. Goetz was a colorful artist who made a living as a cartoonist, most famously for illustrating 'Major Thompson', and who often signed simply as Walter.
