Whalley was born in Brockville, Ontario, went to King's Collegiate School in Windsor, Nova Scotia until 1937,[2] and attended the Nova Scotia College of Art.[1] After serving with the Canadian Merchant Marine during the Second World War,[1] he later established himself in Montreal as a prominent humorist, beginning in the 1940s with the Montreal Standard.[1] He would become well known in the 1960s and 1970s doing covers for Maclean's, Weekend and the Montrealer magazines.[1]
He used a distinctive stripped-down style to send up the cultural and political life of Canada. As an illustrator, he collaborated on works with Eric Nicol[1] and John Robert Colombo,[3] among others.[1]
In 1965, Whalley won first prize for Political Cartooning at the International Salon of Caricature and Cartoon.[4] In 2007, he was inducted into the Canadian Cartoonist Hall of Fame.[5]
He died in a hospital in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, aged 86.
