This book gathers some of the resulting cartoons for those who have known and loved Ron and we hope they will raise a smile for you too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of his cartoons are the work of a moment, scribbled on a napkin in a café or similar when inspiration strikes - normally donated to those who inspired them - but fortunately some have been kept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow in his '80s, Ron has finally achieved his dream of seeing his cartoons in print, thanks to his nurse Hannah Blunsdon who contacted BBC Midlands Today on his behalf. With the help of Ron's best friend since childhood, Cyril Hobbins, and Spring View Publications we are proud to bring some of these cheerful images to a wider audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRon's skills have developed since those early days when he was inspired by 1940s comics, but his drawings still retain the humour and something of the child-like innocence of those carefree years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Owen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 173986591X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781739865917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring View Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 8.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Ron Owen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981312983295,"sku":"9781739865917","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c5e54b3-9a9b-4978-9f6d-9dd86949e9db.jpg?v=1683254854","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-funny-side-of-ron-owen-9781739865917","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
