W.C. Sellar
Walter Carruthers Sellar was a Scottish humourist and writer for Punch magazine, born in Golspie, Sutherland.
He attended Fettes College as Head Boy and served briefly in WWI before studying modern history at Oxford's Oriel College, where he met collaborator R.J. Yeatman.
Despite their successful partnership, Sellar was shy and introverted, contrasting with Yeatman's personality.
He contributed to Punch from 1925 and co-wrote 1066 and All That, first published in Punch in 1930.
The book's title referenced Robert Graves' autobiography.
Sellar specialized in comic exaggerations, name confusions, and literary allusions, also writing melancholy poetry alongside humor.
