Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There was one small but notable omission in Martin Plimmer's fine and detailed obituary of Norman Thelwell [10 February], writes Bernard Smith. The first exposure to his name and work for many thousands of teenagers in the 1950s was his little strip cartoon "Chicko", which he produced for Eagle. It was there without fail every week for years, from 14 April 1950, at the foot of the editorial page. It must have been one of his first, and no doubt very welcome, regular commissions following his graduation from Liverpool College of Art.
