Influences


Chris Donald is the founder of, and one of the principal contributors to, the British comic magazine Viz. He attended West Jesmond Primary School, and then Heaton Comprehensive School, where he did not complete his A-levels, and in 1978 he began work as a clerical officer at the DHSS central office in Longbenton, Newcastle.

Chris, together with his brother Simon and a schoolfriend Jim Brownlow, set-up Viz in December 1979 from a bedroom in Newcastle. He was editor (or head of the "editorial cabinet") for many years but retired from day-to-day duties in 1999, and now only contributes occasional cartoons. He has since written a personal history of Viz magazine entitled Rude Kids.

“And he didn’t draw dog turds in the house style either. He drew the flies circling above too big, and gave them wings. Me, I preferred a few tiny little dots above a turd. That made it look less disgusting, but smellier at the same time.”
Chris Donald, The Inside Story of Viz: Rude Kids
