I'm amazed that a fellow claret would read such rubbish but it would have been either the Sun or the News Of The World.

In 1968 Rupert Murdoch took control of the News of the World in London, a Sunday newspaper with a circulation of six million. In November the following year he also took on The Sun, a struggling London daily. As part of his revamping of these two newspapers he convinced Rigby to move to England to cartoon for both papers. Originally it was for six months, but he stayed five years.
Rigby’s style went over well in Britain. He always drew a small boy and a dog somewhere in his detailed cartoons and it became a game with the readers to find them. In some of the pubs the cartoons where cutup into 200 pieces and were sold with a prize going to the person with the piece that showed the dog.

I never heard of him so had to google-
Rigby, cartoon master, dies at 82 | The Australian
