Well, whoopy-do! My chum Gary Northfield has his debut in the highly prestigeous British comic book The Beano with his new character Derek the Sheep
Be sure and pick up a copy or ten this week (issue 3214, dated February 21st) and write to the editor telling him how much you really like Derek. Draw a picture if you feel like it. In crayon. Purple crayon.
You know how old you’re gettign when The Beano is described as a ‘comic book’. It cost 10p in my day…
I was trying to be facetious. Perhaps I should have said “cutting edge journal of sequential literature”.
Hunt Emerson, & Gary Northfield… blimey – it’s like an alternative comics publisher or summat!
heh – when I were a lad, ’twere my ambition to be published in t’beano…
sod all those people hitting each other in them american comics – never did owt for me!
i think derek is good. I especially like Cecil the bee
i also think that gary northfield is a good comic artist. Have you seen his work in Horrible Histories?
