Charles Peattie (born 3 April 1958)[1] is a British cartoonist, best known as half of the team (with Russell Taylor) that creates the satirical comic strip Alex.

He produced the cartoon 'Dick', which ran in Melody Maker, and the Celeb comic strip which has been running in Private Eye since 1987.

[3] In that magazine, the strip is credited to "Ligger", a joint pseudonym for Peattie and Warren.

Whilst several real people are named or caricatured, the eponymous "celebrity" is a fictional person, Gary Bloke.

Gary has a daughter named Pixie Frou-Frou, first mentioned in November 1987, when she was stated to be five years old.
