For those people who monitor this thread, I have had an email from Leslie Caswell's oldest son Hamilton - see the comments under this thread:

Hamilton has given us a potted biography.

Very interesting Norman! Does anybody know which newspaper strips Leslie drew?

All I can find on Caswell comic strip work is that Leslie was the original artist on Better Or Worse in the Daily Herald in 1963 (see http://smurfswacker.blogspot.co.uk/2012 ... art-2.html, http://comicwiki.dk/wiki/Better_or_Worse and http://bearalley.blogspot.co.uk/2008/09 ... -1963.html), and the second artist on Keeping Up With the Joneses in The Mirror in 1961 (see http://john-adcock.blogspot.co.uk/2015/ ... -2011.html)

You'll need to scroll down a bit with some of those links.

His son told me "I am currently working on copying and binding many episodes of his two daily newspaper comic strips "Better Or Worse" and "Keeping up With The Joneses"" so well done Mr Simpson. I'll share anything I get.
