Did you know that there are two cartoonists named Royston? Contemporary UK cartoonist Royston Robertson was just alerted that there was a cartoonist who also signed his gag cartoons "Royston." This Royston cartoonist's work appeared in Australian magazines of the 1940s.
Please check out Royston Robertson's blog here.

Thanks for the post, Mike. I'll let you know if I manage to turn up anything on the other Royston!
