Leo Baxendale
Leo Baxendale (born
October 27,
1930) is a
British cartoonist, who was the creator of the classic
Beano strips "
Minnie the Minx" (1953) and "
The Bash Street Kids" (1954). He left the
Beano in 1962, and created the short-lived "Wham!" comic for Odhams, before contributing his brand of cartoon mayhem to Fleetway's line of comics for many years. In the
1980s he fought a seven-year legal battle with D. C. Thompson for the rights to his
Beano creations, which was eventually settled out of court.
