Bristow (cartoon)

[1] Dickens broke the original record held by Marc Sleen, whose The Adventures of Nero was drawn for 45 years without any assistance.

[3][4] However, even Dickens's record has been broken in his turn by Jim Russell, whose series The Potts ran for 62 years.

Bristow is surrounded by co-workers, Fudge (his overbearing manager), Jones, Hewitt, Dimkins, hapless typist Miss Sunman, master chef Gordon Blue, the Postboy and the ever-gossiping Mrs. Purdy the Tealady.

During the winter, the bird travels to a warmer climate where she visits Bristow's counterpart, a black man in a white suit.

[9] In 1971 the strip was also adapted into a theatrical play[10] at the ICA in London, co-written and directed by Michael Bakewell and starring Freddie Jones.
