I am 86 on November 8th and was born in Canterbury Kent. My first illustrator was Mary Tourtel,then in 1935 Alfred Bestall and Frosty,s Mate John Harrold took over drawing me in 1977.Although there was a shortage of paper and space, i was still used for morale during the war years. I am the longest childrens cartoon in any newspaper around the world....Who am i ?

I have just spoke to Christine and the answer to her who am i was Bob and Alf Pearson. I ask her to add new one as that got everyone stuck, but she said for me to add another. So i will add one and no cheating on the internet..lol

Christine wd now your go..Nice one and i thought that hard.

Roy Orbison????

ok........Heres another clue.............I sang duo of 'crying' with J.d Lang.

Ok..I was born on April 23rd 1936 in Vernon,Texas. I asked for a harmonica for my 6th birthday but my father got me a guitar.I wrote my first song in 1944 'a vow of love' (he was young).I then wrote a large number of Country songs but in 1966 my wife Claudette was killed in a motorcycle accident and i stopped writing, although i did finish my leading role in the film 'the fastest guitar alive'. And worst still 2 years later 2 of my 3 children were killed in a house fire.After a brief rest i did go back to singing and sortly before my death on Dec 6th 1988 of a heart attack, i had finished a solo album.................Have ago and see if you can guess or more clue maybe given.
