c.1982/1983? | age 14/15? Today’s page was drawn at two different times, in biro, and then later in black marker. I’ll talk a bit about actor Denis Lawson (as Wedge Antilles) but also the unfortunate Jek Tono Porkins character (by[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

c.1982/83? | age 14/15? ‘Proton Torpedoes’ always sounds a bit funny to me. Kind of like “Chewie, bring me the Hydro-Spanner‘.” I suppose Proton and Hydro must sound sound kinda futuristic and , I dunno… er, spacey? I’m a Diversion?[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
