FOOTBALL THEME IN BRITISH HUMOUR COMICS TO CELEBRATE EURO 2012 (DAY 19)


Millions of people around the Globe are crazy about football but surely there are also those who are less than keen on the game. Here are three nice episodes of Hugh Fowler – the Man Who Hates Football from SCORCHER AND SCORE, illustrated by Ken Reid.

    Odd little story! Amazing how much action that Ken Reid packs into one page, though - love the scenes with the inflated footballs.

    Glad to see that my desperate efforts to get Saturdays match abandoned have not been completely forgotten.
