'Pip, Squeak and Wilfred'.
Austin Bowen Payne was the artist of the 'Pip, Squeak and Wilfred' daily comic strip. This funny animal comic first appeared in the Daily Mirror on 12 May 1919. The scripts were written by Bertram J. Lamb (14 May 1887- February 1938), while Austin Bowen Payne provided the illustrations. Payne's wartime batman had the nickname "Pip-Squeak", inspiring him to the names of his comic heroes. Pip the dog and Squeak the penguin first appeared in illustrations for Lamb's articles in the Children's Mirror. Wilfred the big-eared rabbit appeared later. The strip was a big success during the 1920s. Payne illustrated the comic until his retirement in 1953.
