Illustrator and cartoonist, worked for the Sun-Herald group. Five of his original story illustrations are now in the AGWA; two were done for 'Crispin’s Day’ (30 August 1953), a Sunday serial. An original work of 1953 is in ML (PXD 764). Seale, a CPA artist mentioned by Lindsay Bryant, was apparently still alive in 1998.
