As a child growing up in Crieff Peter ‘Pedro’ Brock loved poring over the cartoons in the Weekly News.
“I would study them all, and on a Sunday, I’d grab the Sunday Post fun section for Oor Wullie and The Broons. It was the Dudley D Watkins illustrations that would inspire me to draw,” Peter, who was nicknamed Pedro at school, recalls.
“At first I would draw my family, then the neighbours and always the school teachers. I loved all the comics of the time – The Sparky, The Dandy, The Beezer, The Topper, as well as the wee Commando magazines.”
