Chidsea were in the doldrums as usual. In the previous four

  1. Greetings, many thanks for this blog and their inputs, in this case, I think that the drawner was another Ripoll, not Miguel, but Edmundo Fernández Ripoll "Edmond"

  3. The artist is not Edmond..., is a british - Years ago I set out to discover the identity of this cartoonist and after much searching I managed to find out his name; he was a British author, but I did not save the details.
