The comic strip 'Stanley' appeared in England's PUNCH magazine during the 1970's. It featured a caveman named Stanley who wore glasses and struggled with the neolithic environment but showed touches of his creator's left wing leanings. Stanley, like his successor Wal Footrot, had a loyal companion in the form of a wild dog, no doubt the predecessor of 'the Dog' in Footrot Flats. Often, the dog would take prominance in the strip. This dog's character tends to contradict Ball's claims that the Footrot 'Dog' was based on 'Finn', his own Border Collie farm dog.
[edit] Politics
When I first read that he was left wing in his views, I was mildly surprised, given his views on feminism. A citation might be useful. Andjam 00:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
