The Compleat Tangler brings together a glorious collection of Thelwell's fishing cartoons.

What do fishermen really get up to when they abandon a warm bed before the crack of dawn, stuff a haversack with tins of assorted maggots, half a hundredweight of pulped bread and a folding campstool, and disappear into the drizzle? Thelwell presents his report.



Norman Thelwell contributed more than 1,600 cartoons to

Punch magazine, the

Sunday Express and

Tatler. Thelwell's cartoons remain a popular and wry look at British life. He was particularly well-known for his cartoons on horse riding, fishing, sailing, motoring and country pursuits and was one of the founder members of the British Cartoonists' Association.
