Its sad to read the news that the veteran cartoonist Bill Tidy has died at 89.
Tidy is best known for the Cloggies (a satirical take on the Archers) and the Fosdyke Saga but for many years he drew a back page strip for the paper of the Campaign For Real Ale, What’s Brewing. Kegbuster was determined to champion the cause of cask ale against the first wave of Big Beer owned industrial keg beer. What Kegbuster would have made of craft keg is perhaps another matter, although one can hear the word ‘murk’ being uttered.
Roger Protz tells the Bill Tidy story far better than I can here:
