Giles The Collection 2022 by Carl Giles
****The nation's favourite cartoonist - Express**** Giles enthusiasts will be thrilled with this latest collection of classic cartoons. Capturing Giles' trademark style and British humour, the 2022 annual collection takes a look inside the Giles family home and showcases the comings and goings within. Full of satirical wit and detailed artwork, this collection perfectly captures the chaos of typical British domestic life through political remarks, heated dinner conversations and unwanted visitors. Due to COVID-19, the home has become the centre of daily life for many across Britain, and so Giles' raw and comical cartoons embody more than ever the small details and dynamics of family life. While the characters' physical appearances never change, the steady progression of British culture can be seen through music references, fashion choices and interior décor. Fans of Giles will be delighted to receive the latest annual compilation, featuring 150 cartoons from the archives of one of the most celebrated cartoonists of the once biggest selling daily newspaper in the world, the Daily Express, whose work led to him being voted the best cartoonist of the 20th century.
Carl Giles was born in Islington, North London, on 29 September 1916. After leaving school at fourteen, he initially trained in animation before moving into cartoons, when working for Reynolds News. In 1943 Giles moved to the Sunday Express and Daily Express, eventually replacing Strube and becoming the Daily Express "War Correspondent Cartoonist" with the 2nd Army in 1945. Best known for his Express "family", his cartoons had enormous popular appeal and in 1959 he was awarded an OBE. Giles left the Daily Express in 1989 but continued working for the Sunday Express until 1991. He died in 1995.
