This is Archie. A grasshopper just landed on my nose so I went in for a bit. When things seemed safe again, I had a look around to make sure!

This made my day! I wish I could have been there.
In a book shop in Wigtown in Scotland. Found these 2 beauties and immediately thought of you mate. Any memories working on these classics? Having a pint toasting you Barrie.

A very jolly day at the Wimpole Estate today. A bit too far for me to walk around so I popped on to a mobility scooter and travelled in style. Left to right (standing) my sister, my son and my daughter. Watch out, Skid Solo!

So sorry to hear of the passing of former Australian captain Bobby Simpson. I met him in Australia when I was planning a cricket magazine (which didn’t happen). He agreed to be a contributor. RIP…

After Scream disappeared very quickly, I was able to produce this Holiday Special. A striking cover…definitely not for the nervous!

This is Archie. I don’t normally come out in the afternoons but I thought I’d pop out today. Found a plate of dandelions and other stuff so it’s tongue out Saturday as I prepare to have a munch.

A new football season! This is a chart I designed for Tiger…and it lasted a whole season. In some sections, you had to write quite small!

I’m probably not best known for editing this annual. Anyone ever read it?

A rather unusual pose from Roy on this 1982 cover we produced. A good view of my Melchester strip!

Taken a few moments ago. Archie deciding she fancied a late evening meal. A salad, of course, with a vitamin supplement!

Here’s a photo of Tom Tully and myself planning the forthcoming Roy of the Rovers storyline. When this pic appeared in IPC News, they suggested we were talking about Roy becoming a dad and added picture to illustrate that!

I’ve just been watching the new Champ/We are United podcast we recorded yesterday. Saw some old bloke joining the chat, then realised it was me! 🥴.

While we’re still celebrating last night’s win, let’s switch sport and publish again this photo of the great Fred Trueman with the Test Match game, which has had a mention recently. We had 50 of them to be won in this Tiger competition

Good luck to the Lionesses tonight. So far, it’s been a real Roy of the Rovers adventure. Make it a happy ending!
