“cartoonist”
David Wright.
United Kingdom, 1912 to 1967
David Wright (12 December 1912 to 25 May 1967) was a British illustrator who drew a series of "lovelies" that epitomised female glamour during World War II. He also created the Carol Day cartoon strip for the Daily Mail in 1956, creating a soap opera style of comic strip that paralleled similar work in the USA. However, it is his series of 169 illustrations for The Sketch magazine (from 1941 to 1951) that became most popular. In the 1950s he continued drawing in a similar style for Men Only. Wright started work at his uncle's studio after leaving school, later becoming the fashion illustrator for a number of women's magazines.
