I once did a series of posts featuring various
strips with artists’ self-portraits in them. I recently discovered another nice
example in the opening episode of JINX – Ken’s last new strip that he illustrated
for the BEANO before leaving DC Thomson.
It can be found in the BEANO issue No. 1108
cover-dated 12th October, 1963.
The self-portrait is not as detailed as the
one in POW!’s Dare-A-Day Davy (that appears on the slipcase of my POWER PACK OF KEN
REID collection and in Rebellion’s CREEPY CREATIONS album), but I was still
happy to have found it! Click to enlarge:
