He was born in Wirral, Cheshire, on 30 December 1951, the son of Aubrey Williams, a local government officer. His nickname "Kipper" came from a childhood pronunciation of "Christopher." He attended Ellesmere Port Grammar School, and from 1970 to 1974 studied fine art at Leeds University, where, he remembered, "cartoons were my reaction against traditional fine art and painting." At Leeds he was a friend of Steve Bell.[2]
