About the Author

Jeremy Gerlis, Alan Capel and Tim Cordell are fully grown, fully clothed and very serious cartoonists – and there’s a little bit of ROGER in all of them.

Jeremy Gerlis, 49, was born in Grimsby and is a qualified sculptor, masseur, and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing. He studied Fine Art in UK and USA and now combines a successful career as an international brand consultant in UK, Europe and USA with that of a well-hung cartoonist; he has been the Jewish Chronicle cartoonist since 1998 and his work has appeared in numerous newspapers, magazines, books, websites and galleries. He lives in Pinner with his wife and dog Strudel.

Alan Capel, 41, was born in Leicester and possesses a completely useless degree in 'Leisure studies'. In later life he set up his own cartooning and illustrating business under the Enterprise Allowance scheme. He is now a widely published cartoonist, including a 'tremendous caveman gag' in Private Eye. He does have a proper job however and has spent the last 16 years either working in the photography industry or supporting Leicester City.

Tim Cordell, 45, was born in London and studied psychology at Lancaster University. Over the years, Tim has won numerous awards as both copywriter and art director for many of London's leading international advertising agencies. Years of idle doodling on layout pads led to a parallel career as a cartoonist, with work being published in Private Eye, Punch and The Sun amongst others. He lives in North London.
