welcome and enjoy!
Hi and welcome to my blog about comics from other people’s childhood! It is dedicated primarily to British humour comics of the 60s and 70s. The reason they are not from my childhood is simply because I didn’t live in the UK back then (nor do I live there now). I knew next to nothing about them until fairly recently but since then I’ve developed a strong liking for the medium and amassed a large collection, including a number of complete or near complete sets. My intention is to use this blog as a channel for sharing my humble knowledge about different titles, favourite characters and creators as I slowly research my collection.
QUICK TIP: this blog is a sequence of posts covering one particular comic at a time. The sequence follows a certain logic, so for maximum results it is recommended that the blog is read from the oldest post up.

MY COMICS WORK: THE FROLICS OF THE ONE-HORNED DEVIL, PART TWO

You may have mentioned it before, Irmy, but why did you give it up? And did you ever think of approaching IPC or Mad Magazine to look for work?
ReplyDeleteThose were very exciting and turbulent times here that offered lots of opportunities and drawing comics wasn't the best career to pursue, that's for sure :) Besides, I got married at about that time, etc. And no, I never thought about approaching publishers abroad for work. I think the fortnightly magazine that published my work folded in the early nineties after some 40 years.
DeleteWhy not do a one-tier strip whenever you get the time, and post it on the blog? You know, something like The Wizard Of Id or Calvin And Hobbes? (I din't mean in theme, just in size.) A one-tier, three or four panel strip? That'd be nice. Just to keep your hand in.
