Frank William Huline-Dickens (9 December 1931 – 8 July 2016) was a British cartoonist, best known for his strip Bristow, which ran for 51 years in the Evening Standard and was syndicated internationally.
Born in Hornsey, London, the son of a painter and decorator, Dickens left school at the age of 16, and began working for his father.
