TV Terrors by Bill Titcombe
'TV Terrors'. 

British comic book artist Bill Titcombe started illustrating children's comics in the late 1950s. He created 'Buster Capp', the son of Reg Smythe's 'Andy Capp', and drew the title comic of the character's own comic book magazine, Buster, before Hugh McNeill took over in the 1960s. He is best known for his versatile contributions to TV Comic throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Titcombe drew not only 'TV Terrors', but also a great many comic strips based on TV shows, including British programs and personalities, such as 'Bootsie and Snudge', 'The Dickie Henderson Family', 'The Telegoons' and 'Dad's Army'. He also drew comics about American animated film characters such as 'Barney Bear', Tex Avery's 'Bugs Bunny' and Hanna-Barbera's 'Tom and Jerry'. In 1966, he also made a comic strip about the mascot for the World Championship Associated Football, 'World Cup Willie'.

Between 1986 until the early 1990s, he drew Hanna-Barbera's 'Scooby-Doo', 'Benny Hill', Walter Lantz' 'Woody Woodpecker' and Bruno Bianchi's 'Inspector Gadget' comic strips for Look-in, as well as a 'Wind in the Willows' comic (1983-1986) for Pippin. In the 1990s, he drew 'Roy of the Rovers' (originally created by Frank S. Pepper and Joe Coluhoun) for a while in The Sunday Squad, as well as 'Perils of Page 3 Pauline' in News of the World and 'TV Centre' in Fast Forward. Bill Titcombe also illustrated 'Tat the Cat', a novel series and comic strip created by his wife, Audrey Titcombe.
