William George Rushton, commonly known as Willie Rushton ( 18 August 1937 – 11 December 1996 ) was an English cartoonist, satirist, comedian, actor and performer who co-founded the Private Eye satirical magazine.

William George Rushton was born 18 August 1937 in the family home at Scarsdale Villas, Kensington, London ( which 24 years later was to also be the editorial birthplace of Private Eye ).

From June 1960 until March 1961 he contributed a weekly strip, “ Brimstone Belcher ”, following the exploits of the titular journo ( a fore-runner of Private Eye ’ s Lunchtime O ’ Booze ), from bizarre skulduggery in the British colonies ( where the squaddies holding back the politicised rabble bear a strong resemblance to privates Rushton and Ingrams ), travelogues through the USA, and the hazards of by-electioneering as the independent candidate for the constituency of Gumboot North.

With Private Eye riding the satire boom, Peter Cook soon took an interest and contributed two serials recounting the bizarre adventures of Sir Basil Nardly-Strobes and the Rhandi Phurr, both of which were admirably illustrated by Rushton, as was " Mrs Wilson ‘ s Diary ".

But then I had voted for him, so he owed me something .” Rushton also appeared on the original flexi-discs of skits, squibs and invective that “ Private Eye ” gave away, having success with two self-penned songs: “ Neasden ” (“ you won ’ t be sorry that you breezed in.

Rushton and Barry Fantoni ( another Private Eye contributor ) entered a painting Nude Reclining, a satirical portrait of three establishment types, for the 1963 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition under the name of ' Stuart Harris ' which excited much controversy.

Rushton had not been involved in Private Eye since the latter part of the 60s, other than a brief stint illustrating " Mrs Wilson's Diary " when the Labour Party came back into power in the mid-70s.

Rushton returned to Private Eye in 1978 to take over the task of illustrating " Auberon Waugh's Diary ".

Judith Anderson said his work was based on statistically flawed evidence, John Archer and others said that Rushton failed to understand and misapplied the theory of kin selection, Judith Economos said he was speculative and failed to define the concept of altruistic behavior in a way that it can become manifest and failed to show any plausible mechanism by which members of a species can detect the " altruism gene " in other members of the species, and Steven Gangestad criticized the theory for not being compelling in terms of its attractiveness as an explanatory model, C.

Z. Cernovsky Rushton's own study shows that the average cranial capacity of North American blacks is similar to that of Caucasians from comparable climatic zones, though a previous work by Rushton showed appreciable differences in cranial capacity between North Americans of different race.
