Mike Peyton is the world's most famous nautical cartoonist. This authorised biography, complete with many of his iconic cartoons, has been written by Dick Durham - ex Fleet Street journalist, Yachting Monthly's Features Editor and Mike's lifelong friend.
Dick romps through Mike's life, from his early schoolboy sketches to being seconded by the intelligence corps during World War Two to draw maps of the North African deserts, from there running a PoW newspaper, and, back in the UK, going on to work as a freelance cartoonist on such as diverse titles as the Church of England Times and Corsetry and Underwear. Sympathetic, entertaining and insightful, this is the long-deserved biography of a man who has dominated the nautical humour scene for well over seven decades.
