Born in 1950 in Blackpool, Tony began his career as a cartoonist in the 1970s, drawing for a variety of publications. The grandfather had his work featured in every edition of Private Eye for 38 years, including his series ‘The Yobs’ which was commissioned by the magazine's editor, Ian Hislop. His inspiration for the series was being beaten up by a gang of skinheads, in the days when he was ‘a long haired hippie’.

Desperately sad news. RIP."

The charity has launched Project Irreversible, described as a prevention initiative to educate youngsters on the risks and consequences of acid violence, on both a victim and a perpetrator.
