Political cartoonist for the [[Ankh-Morpork Times]].
His depictions of [[Morporkia]] raise a manly sigh in many a patriotic breast. His depiction of [[Polly Perks]] raised an embarrassed red flush in hers. Which, being male, he doesn't have; honestly, it's just a figure of speech...

The long-lived satirical magazine '''''Punch''''', in its nineteenth century heyday, employed a house cartoonist called "Phiz" which was short for "Phizzog", which in its turn was short for "physiognomy", or "facial likeness"

''Punch'' was a patriotic British magazine which, while occasionally a source of embarrassment for British governments, soon became part of the Establishment. It faded and died in the late twentieth century under pressure from more genuinely satirical publications such as ''"Private Eye"''

Both the cartoon in the frontispiece of {{MR}} and the general tone of the [[Ankh-Morpork Times]] are strongly reminiscent of the cartoon and written style of ''Punch'' in its Victorian heyday.
