G E Thompson - Sports cartoonist

[Tacitus]

I am attaching 2 cartoons of local sports teams by an artist named G E Thompson. One was in a previous thread in this forum and the other is from my own collection.
It was said in the earlier thread that he worked for the Sports Argus. Can anyone say if that is true or if not which newspaper he might have worked for?
Additionally does anyone know what his full name was i.e. what the G & E stood for, or anything else about him?
Thanks if anyone can throw any light on this obviously very talented man.

I'm afraid can't add to your information merely adding a third cartoon, this one Olton Ladies Hockey

Do we have any idea of a date?
Norman Edwards seems to be the one drawing similar pictures in the Argus during the 50s and 60s

1st and 3rd were both early '60's. The cricket one was at the Solihull Rover ground. The ladies hockey one in Olton. I wonder if The Solihull News is a link. The News always gave good publicity to amateur sports.

Unfortunately, the Solihull News is not online for the 1960s so I can't check.
