Colonel Blimp is a British cartoon character by cartoonist David Low, first drawn for Lord Beaverbrook's London Evening Standard in April 1934. Blimp is pompous, irascible, jingoistic, and stereotypically British, identifiable by his walrus moustache and the interjection "Gad, Sir!" Low claimed that he developed the character after overhearing two military men in a Turkish bath declare that cavalry officers should be entitled to wear their spurs inside tanks. The character was named after the barrage balloon, which was known as a blimp.

  • Colonel Blimp („Oberst Blimp“) war der Titel einer britischen Comicstripreihe, die in den 1930er Jahren im britischen Evening Standard erschien, sowie der Name der Hauptfigur dieser Reihe. Der Schöpfer von Colonel Blimp war der neuseeländische Cartoonist und Karikaturist David Low, der 1927 von Lord Beaverbrook zum Standard geholt worden war. Low ließ Colonel Blimp mit der Zeit nicht nur in seiner eigenen Cartoonreihe Colonel Blimp auftreten, sondern baute ihn auch gelegentlich als Assistenzfigur mit hohem Wiedererkennungswert in seine Karikaturen des politischen Tagesgeschehens ein.
