Charles Grigg RIIP: DC Thomson's Kwirky Korky 333

On perusing back through Wikipedia's Death in 2013 site I noted the following under December 4th:
Charles Grigg, 97, British comics artist (Korky the CatDesperate Dan)
I thought his name "Grigg" had that inner twin feel, given the audd twin "gg" at the tail end, nott to mention the spelling of "Korky"... kwirky spellings being a particular inner twin trade mark signature... hence why I spell odd as audd and but as butt.  As well, the number of Artist deaths seems to be high in the last two months... butt I haven't had a chance to check this out to know this for sure... just an inkling. Note this excerpt from my December 9th post re Günther Förg RIIP: Forging a New Interior Design!!:
It dawned on me that I generally automatically research further recent deaths of renown artists, butt haven't done so lately.  On going through the Deaths in 2013 list under November and December, I garnered the following information from the links provided:
If you go back to the post and go through the list provided, you'll note that Grigg was not listed... so I either missed him, or more likely, he had been added to the wiki list after my post.
  So not the following from his wiki page:  
Charles Grigg (23 November 1916 – 4 December 2013) was a British comic artist for DC Thomson.
What stands out now, is the "DC Thomson"... given that the surname in origin was "Thomas son" which meant "Twin Son"... Thomas being a particular inner twin trade mark signature.  Note the following from DC Thomson's wiki page:
In 1884, David Coupar Thomson took over the publishing business...
Note the following from David Coupar Thomson's wiki page:
David Coupar Thomson (23 May 1861 – 12 December 1954)
Note the following re his birthday of May 23rd:
May 23 is the 143rd day of the year (144th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 222 days remaining until the end of the year.
As of May 23rd, there are 222 days remaining in the year... so what are the chances... 222 being an addition to the "Identical Number Sequence" pattern-cluster... a particular inner twin trademark signature... as I've brought up many times today already.
