With the "Daily Mirror"'s "Fosdyke Saga" of Northern tripe magnates, "The Last Chip Shop in England" and the ruthless folk-dancing "Cloggies" in "Private Eye", not to mention his regular appearances on television and radio programmes, Bill Tidy's humour knows no bounds.
Born in Tranmere, Cheshire, the initial northern flavour of his work soon broadened. His output includes 100,000 cartoons, illustrations and written pieces produced over the last 40 years. His ability to draw and his anarchistic, free-wheeling vision of life combine here to give a funny, satirical commentary on the world as he experienced it.
Is There Any News of the Iceberg?" is one of thousands of Bill Tidy's classic cartoons that gives its name to this autobiography, in which his observations in words and pictures illustrate his life.
Illustrated in b/w throughout.
