Donald Rooum (20 April 1928 – 31 August 2019) was an English anarchist cartoonist and writer.[1] He had an extremely long association with the Freedom newspaper in London, to which he regularly submitted his Wildcat comic strips.
In 1963 he played a key role in exposing Harold Challenor, a corrupt police officer who had unsuccessfully tried to frame him for carrying an offensive weapon, see below.
