Family Cartoon Images Biography

Giles - Full biography
Carl Giles was born in Islington, north London, on 29 September 1916. His father, Albert Giles, was a tobacconist, but his mother was the daughter of a Norfolk farmer and he spent his school holidays in East Anglia. Giles attended Barnsbury Park School - where he was taught by the severe, skeletal Mr Chalk who later featured in his cartoons - but had no formal art training. As Giles later acknowledged, the closest he came to art training was the encouragement of Sir Alfred Munnings, President of the Royal Academy, to whom his uncle was butler.
Leaving school aged fourteen, Giles worked as an office boy for a Wardour Street film company, but then progressed to becoming a junior animator on cartoons. He moved to Elstree, where from 1935 he worked for Alexander Korda, and was one of the principal animators on the first full-length British colour cartoon film with sound, The Fox Hunt. After The Fox Hunt was completed, Giles went to Ipswich to join Roland Davies, who was setting up a studio to animate his popular newspaper strip "Come On Steve". Six ten-minute films were produced, beginning with Steve Steps Out in 1936, but although Giles was the head animator, he received no screen credit. On the death of his brother in 1937, Giles returned to London, and, after speculatively submitting work, got a job as staff artist on the left-wing weekly Reynolds News, producing single-panel cartoons and the strip "Young Ernie".
Giles was much influenced by the Punch cartoons of Graham Laidler - "Pont" - and later admitted that when Laidler died in 1941 it was "the same sort of shock as when someone dies in the family": "I missed his drawings and went on missing them." His "Young Ernie" strip was noted by John Gordon, editor of the Sunday Express, and in 1943 Giles was invited to the Beaverbrook headquarters in Fleet Street to be interviewed for a job on the Evening Standard. As it turned out he was offered a job on the Daily Express and Sunday Express, at a higher salary than he was getting, and duly left Reynolds News, taking his strip with him. His first cartoon for his new employer appeared in the Sunday Express of 3 October 1943.
