I think New Scientist's 'Grimbledon Down' was his creation.
NS was my (well Dad's really) teenage comic...

I chiefly remember The Cloggies.  Funny then, but very much of their time (the Blagdon Amateur Rapist, anyone?).

Used to read The Fosdyke Saga occasionally but can't remember where. 70's I think. Wiki sez it was in the Mirror but I never read the Mirror.

He did Kegbuster for CAMRAs newspaper as well.

There was a rumour that one week he posted the wrong strips out to the various papers which led to some very puzzled editors and readers

I keep thinking that there's something amiss with the thread title. It should, of course, be "Bill Tidy pops his clogs." HTH.
