The Gambols is a British comic strip created by Barry Appleby which debuted 16 March 1950 in the Daily Express where it ran for almost 50 years: as of 1999 The Gambols has appeared in the Mail on Sunday. Mahoney works mainly in pen and coloured inks, but also uses pencils, felt-tip pens, and watercolours. Some consonants can take the function of the vowel in unstressed syllables. Where necessary, a syllabic marker diacritic is used, hence /ˈpɛtl/ but /ˈpɛtl̩i/.

The symbol ˈ at the beginning of a syllable indicates that that syllable is pronounced with primary stress. Mahoney created his first strip ("Mopsy") for the weekly Fleetway Publications magazine Princess, and afterwards contributed strips and jokes to a number of publications including the Scottish Daily Record ("Agony Is" and "Sammy the Caterpillar"), Woman's Realm ("Mum"), Daily Mirror ("Millie", "The Greens", and "Mandy Capp"), Sunday Express ("L") and Daily Star ("What's in a Name?" and "Last of the Summer Wine"). Most of the Gambols strips were three or four panels long, however the Sunday Express published longer strips. Some of these strips also appeared in colour. On Barry Appleby's death in 1996 Mahoney took over the writing and drawing of "The Gambols" for Express Newspapers. Continuing the strip created by Barry and his wife Dobs was daunting, and Mahoney recalled later that "if I could get through the first six months I knew it would be all right but living up to the Applebys remained the challenge." Mahoney compiled, designed, scripted, and drew The Gambols annuals Nos 46-48, published from 1997 to 1999. In November 1999 the Express dropped the strip, but in the following month Mahoney moved it to the Mail on Sunday.

The strip was then taken over by Roger Mahoney until it moved from the Daily Express to the Mail on Sunday in 1999 [1].

These were just the chameleon skills Layson needed in anyone drawing Andy, so he must have been relieved when Mahoney said “yes” too. His set his new team to work, and began slowly feathering their contribitions in with the pile of Smythe strips he was still using. At first, the new strips were uncredited. The verb form was later translated as: to caper, to caper about, to frolic about or to scamper about.
