LANGDON, DAVID

LANGDON, DAVID
LANGDON, DAVID (1914– ), British cartoonist and illustrator. Educated at the London School of Economics, Langdon began to draw regularly for Punch in 1937 and eventually became a member of the "Punch Table," the weekly staff gathering which plans each issue of the paper. During World War II, he was a squadron leader in the Royal Air Force, and in 1945–46 edited the RAF Journal. After the war he contributed to various London papers, including Reynolds News, the Evening Standard, and the Sunday Mirror. From 1952 his drawings, distinguished by their elegance of line and ironic approach, also appeared regularly in the American weekly, The New Yorker. Langdon's cartoons were collected in a number of volumes, among them Home Front Lines (1941), The Way I See It (1947), All in Fun (1955), Langdon at Large (1958), Punch with Wings (1961), and How to Play Golf and Stay Happy (1964). He illustrated humorous books by George Mikes and others.
