Peter, Your blog has cleared something up in my mind. I have seen on various blogs references to my drawing Maxwell Hawke in the sixties, and thought to myself " You poor old ferret, you're losing it! You don't remember a thing about that, do you?" And I now realize, after following the link on your blog, that I don't remember it because I didn't draw it! Those pages are not by me. They're too good, for one thing. in 1966 my stuff was much clunkier. Thanks for setting my mind at rest.
Now, back to that owl!
All the best,
John Stokes.

So who did draw it?
