Bunbury. Born in Derbyshire in 1760, he came to London in around 1791 to 1792 where he achieved popularity with his social satires. He was also known as ‘Mustard George’ and 'George Murgatroyd Woodward'. From around 1794 to 1807 Woodward designed numerous caricatures which were engraved by such artists as Isaac Cruikshank (William Cruikshank's father), Charles Williams, Piercy Roberts, Richard Cooper, and other satirical artists of the period. Many of his designs were also etched by his close friend and constant drinking companion, Thomas Rowlandson. He lived a dissolute life and died in poverty in a public house in 1809. George Moutard Woodward is often credited with the invention of the modern form of comic strip. "
