Stanley Franklin
BiographyBrowse items by this cartoonist
Stanley Franklin was born on 30 October 1930 in Bow, London, the son of a coppersmith. While still at school he became fascinated by the work of David Low and Philip Zec, and began to draw his own political cartoons. He left school in 1944, aged fourteen, and, by his own account, applied for a political cartooning job on the Evening Standard, but was informed "that a chap called David Low already held the post and intended keeping it."
Franklin went to work for an advertising agency, where he spent fifteen years working on design, lettering, and cartoons. As he later recalled, "by the time I was seventeen I was drawing cartoons in advertising, on a small-scale but fairly regular basis": "But I never really went into the illustrative side of advertising because I was hoping to become a political cartoonist eventually." From 1946 to 1948 he studied lithography at Mornington Crescent Working Men's College, and, from 1948 to 1951, life drawing at Hammersmith School of Arts & Crafts.
Franklin's first published cartoon appeared in the Daily Mirror, but his staff cartoon work began with the "Mr Farthing" strip on the Daily Herald, which ran from 1954 to 1955. In 1958 Franklin was awarded a Victor Silvester gold medal for ballroom-dancing. In 1959 he became political cartoonist on the Daily Mirror, taking over as Vicky's permanent replacement - although he was asked to adopt a lighter and more humorous approach than his predecessor. The paper enabled Franklin to reach a huge audience, with sales climbing to 5 million by 1965. However, he finally left the Daily Mirror in 1970, claiming that it had lost interest in its cartoons, and objecting to the reduction in size of the main political cartoon.
From 1971 to 1973 Franklin produced cartoon graphics for BBC TV comedy shows, such as The Marty Feldman Show, Them and Lame Ducks, and from 1974 he freelanced as a political cartoonist for the New Statesman. In the same year he took over from Paul Rigby as Editorial Cartoonist of the Sun - celebrating the event on 4 November 1974 with a cartoon of himself bombing the Houses of Parliament. He was much happier at the Sun than he had been on the Daily Mirror, noting in 1976 that he "used to have much more trouble at the Mirror than I do at the Sun": "The Sun is much bolder in approach. They have allowed me to draw cartoons which I don't think the Mirror would have allowed me to do...On the Mirror, they would often have a day without a cartoon. If the editor didn't like it, it wouldn't go in." At the Sun, by contrast, "I've never had a day without a cartoon."
