William Giles Baxter

William Giles Baxter (1856–1888) was a British cartoonist and illustrator.

His most noted work, from 1884 until his death, was for the weekly comic Ally Sloper's Half Holiday.

[1][2] Baxter had previously worked for the Manchester-based satiric magazine Momus/Comus before joining the staff at Judy, whose editor, Charles Henry Ross, had created Ally Sloper, considered the first comic hero,[3] in 1867.

When Ross sold the rights to Gilbert Dalziel, Baxter was taken on to further develop the character.
