Willie Rushton
William George Rushton (18 August 1937 – 11 December 1996) was an English cartoonist, satirist, comedian, actor and performer who co-founded the satirical magazine ''Private Eye''.
==Early life==
Rushton was born 18 August 1937 in 3 Wilbraham Place, Chelsea, London the only son of John and Veronica Rushton, and attended Shrewsbury School, where he was not academically successful but met his future ''Private Eye'' colleagues Richard Ingrams, Paul Foot and Christopher Booker.〔Ned Sherrin, ‘Rushton, William George (1937–1996)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2011 (accessed 23 Aug 2015 )〕 He also contributed to the satirical magazine ''The Wallopian'', (a play on the school magazine name ''The Salopian'') mocking school spirit, traditions and the masters.〔
After school Rushton had to do his two years of national service in the army where he failed officer selection.〔 He later commented "The Army is, God bless it, one of the funniest institutions on earth and also a sort of microcosm of the world. It's split almost perfectly into our class system. Through serving in the ranks I discovered the basic wit of my fellow man – whom basically, to tell the truth, I'd never met before."〔Hugh Massingberd (2012) ''Daydream Believer'' Pan Books ISBN 1447210220〕 On leaving the army, he worked in a solicitor's office for a short period.〔
