Als afgestudeerde van het Liverpool College of Art werd hij een vooraanstaand medewerker van het satirische tijdschrift Punch. Hij vond zijn kenmerkende niche in het portretteren van de heerlijke capriolen van ponyclubmeisjes en hun energieke paarden, een onderwerp dat hem brede erkenning opleverde. Zijn onderscheidende tekeningen en karikaturen brachten miljoenen vreugde.
