Ronald "Carl" Giles OBE (29 September 1916 – 28 August 1995), often referred to simply as Giles, was a cartoonist best known for his work for the British newspaper the Daily Express.

His cartoon style was a single topical highly detailed panel, usually with a great deal more going on than the single joke. Certain recurring characters achieved a great deal of popularity, particularly the extended Giles family, which first appeared in a published cartoon on 5 August 1945 and featured prominently in the strip. Of these, the most remembered is the enigmatic matriarch of the family, known simply as Grandma. Another recurring favourite was Chalkie, the tyrannical school teacher who Giles claimed was modelled on one of his childhood teachers, and Larry, the mop-haired child from next door, often seen with a camera.

Collections of Giles's cartoons have been produced annually since 1946.

Up until the 50th collection (published in 1996), they were given the title "1st Series", "2nd Series", up to "50th Series". Since the 1997-published collection, they have been called "The 1998 collection", "The 1999 collection", etc.
