Reg Parlett

In old fashioned British comics, cats used to always be drawn with bows around their necks (and for some reason, dogs tended to have clay pipes in their mouths and have a little Union Flag tied to their tails). Reg Parlett, an artist who started work in the 1920s, and who was still drawing for IPC comics when I was a kid in the 1970s, had a trademark black and white cat who would often appear as a walk on character in his strips. For example, take a look at this, from 1934.

Jones should be happy she is keeping up such an illustrious tradition.
