MTG Whizzer and chips artist-The Drips and The Gnomes





You can really feel the dampness...nice spotty shading...also lots of fun details..

Whizzer and chips 1983-84.

What did M.T.G stand for? What was his name?

Thanks to Bristle
it stands for Michael (T) Green.

I just consulted my invaluable Encyclopedia of Comic Characters (Denis Gifford), and checked through the index for surnames ending in either 'T' or 'G', and found what I think is the right answer:

Michael (T) Green.

He also drew 'Penny Dreadful' in Wow, and 'Snip And Snap' in Sparky.

I used to feel for that guy in the damp house...he just didn't quite deserve such a scenario!
