George Butterworth (cartoonist)

George Goodwin Butterworth (1905–1988) worked as a British political, strip and sports cartoonist, and later a book illustrator. He often used the byline "GGB." Butterworth's lampoons of Hitler garnered him enough attention to place him on the dictator's "Death List." During World War II, his cartoon Maltese Cross in the Daily Dispatch gave groundswell to the island receiving the George Cross for heroism a week later (April 1942). An avid football supporter, Butterworth provided illustrations for the Manchester United F.C. programmes from 1933 until 1958.
