Comic) and lifelong friend of Marc Riley, who I would later employ on Oink!Comic to draw Harry the Head and to appear as Snatcher Sam. You will also find in Buster on Clumsy Colin sets similar greetings/messages/references to Marc and the Creepers that I incorporated.

It reminds me of how they flash up the name of the next programme on the screen during the programme before it. <br /><br />There are ways of doing it more subtly. I added some greetings to a few of my Oink pages but the lettering was smaller, and in the form of graffiti on a wall in the background, not as blatant as the pages above.<br /><br />When Mark Rogers was writing "Young Arfur" for Buster he'd often feature posters on the wall referring to Mark Riley and The Creepers, as Riley was a friend of his.Lew Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746322402392204077noreply@blogger.com
