Hi Marcus. To answer your question. Sure did. As a child was forever up a tree picking conkers ready for arm to arm conflict in school the next day. Hence why I bought the page. It's a subject close to my heart that stirs up good memories. See, to gain an advantage over my opponents used to stick my nuts in the oven to firm them up. Some like the smell of oil burning. I like chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack frost nibbling at my nose. The horse-chestnut is the modern day medieval warrior spike in my opinion. I was feared and celebrated alike. Look, they cried. It's Richard and his magnificent all conkering nuts. Gave me a big head. 

Hi Marcus. You know what. Me being observant, as you know,  totally missed the extended panel at the bottom. Yeah, Tom Thug's dad was furious to the point he can stretch the fabric of time is seems. Not sure though what's more terrifying. His dad's ability or mother seeing how she chased him down the street with a rather sharp looking French baguette. 😫👉🥖

Hi Marcus. Yeah, the humour is epic. Harry North does the series justice with his penmanship. Slowly but surely locating more pages and the comics.  Currently I have about half the run produced.  😎

Hi Marcus. Don't they just. I suppose Terry Nation must have took inspiration from somewhere when he came up with the Dalek concept.  Dread to know where the idea for the sonic screwdriver came from? 😳 🥒

Hi Marcus. Long time no speak. Yeah, totally agree. The draft is near to the final art. It's been painted using watercolours too, as said. Pretty unusual. Love Korky Paul's style. 😎

Very nice. Well done! :) 

Cheers Daniel for the comment. Great page isn't it. Had so much trouble finding this particular Oink issue #52 from 1988 you wouldn't believe it. Think I had more trouble sourcing that than I did the art itself. 

Congrats on securing a great page. Well done!  :) 

loving the page. :)

Hi Marcus. Shallow or not,  I admire a man not ashamed to say he loves his donkey. 😎

Nice Monster Club page. Well done! 🙂👍

Hi Marcus. What stands out to me is the character in the top right corner of the page eating an overly large plate of chips (french fries). If that's a portion it's not the only thing that's stretched. His underpants must have its own Zip Code. 😳

Hi Marcus. Got the best of two worlds with this page. Tom Thug and Sonic. Big gamer here. Brings back memories of playing Sonic The Hedgehog back in 1992 when first released on the Sega Megadrive console. And yes my representation of a Hedgehog does look like it's farting in my face rather than showing speed.

🦔💨     👀

Hi Marcus. Yeah, I agree. Very vibrant and colourful. Just love how the firework explosions are drawn. 😎🎇🎆

😋

Hi Marcus. Indeed so. Naughty is the new nice it seems. Now thinking about it. Dennis has always had spikey hair since 1951, his first appearance in the Beano comic if my memory serves me correctly. And it's still as black and pointing skywards 74 years later.  Must be the gel he uses? Now that's what I call one tub of WTF extra firm hold.   👀

Hi Marcus. You know what. At least his mother loves him. Yes, he might win a butt ugly contest. Have a flower growing out of his head. But it's not the looks that count. It's personality. Ask his friends when he finds one. 

Hi Marcus. Love anything horror or Halloween related. Two gags, twice the laughter. I'm good at maths me. 😀 1+1 = 3

Hi Marcus.  Yeah, it's like having double vision. Seeing two Tom Thugs. Imagine that. One with no hair and a spare. ((👀)) 

Hi Marcus. Nice isn't it. Love the David Parkins Dan doodle. Desperate Dan is a man after my own stomach. He likes pies, big pies, pies with hoofs and horns, and that's where I part company with him sadly. I am a vegetarian and prefer a cheese quiche. 

Hi Marcus. Indeed he could have. Genius. Wonder if he considered signing it. Smeg Ed? Oh the play on words. 😃

Hi Marcus. Look, who hasn't used a washing machine to mix some cement. We all have. I only the other day used a hairdryer to airfry a Findus crispy pancake. 😋

Hi Marcus. Yes, indeed the page is a hoot. Still confused why there was an inflatable dingy in the kitchen that turned into a hovercraft? How the other half live. 🤔

Hi Marcus. Nice segue. I whole-hart-edly agree. 😁 🖐️🎤

My first Bill Mevin page too. One of many I might add. Will upload them all in good time. Found a honeypot recently and bought em all.

Amazing to think the character Morph featured on Tony Hart's cult TV show , was drawn by the animation icon Bill Mevin, and that success paved the way for Nick Park, Peter Lord & David Sproxton to found Aardman Studios that gave birth to Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Hell yeah! 🥳 🐑

Hi Marcus. Funnily enough this is my very first Snail-Man page bought. Epic isnt is. And yeah, Aunty Maim does look a little like Popeye with her anchor tattoos. Would'nt like to meet her down a dark alleyway. Saying that. A lit one doesn't sound that appealing. (((😫))) 

Granted baseball is slow, but not a slow as cricket. It's the only game where an interval is timed in iceages.

That job is for their long suffering Moms. They are too busy playing Call of Duty of their PS5. 

Hi Marcus. Yeah, it's a great panel. My first Buster cover too. Seeing Tom Thug eat curry and take off like a firework hilarious. We've all been there. Boast how I can eat the hottest vindaloo only to spend hours , backside on fire , perched over a loo. Pooetic justice I think. 😩💩

Hi Marcus. I was lucky to secure this page along with the cover art after Lew Stringer offered it. Love this storyline. Who hasn't eaten spicy food only to regret it later. We all have. Here's a senario. You go out with your mates. Drink too much and become steaming drunk. You combine money and pop into a takeaway on the way home for a Vindaloo curry. Catch a taxi home. Spew a few times. Wake up the next morning with a thumping headache. Stagger to the toilet only to fart fire.  👀💨💥

Hi Marcus. We meet again. This page features the nobel game of cricket. You think American football is stop and start. Cricket is the sundial of sports. 

Hi Marcus. Long time no speak. Yes, indeed the Mom is more intelligent , as all Moms are. As for the dog, it has the unique ability to lick its own balls , which saves cleaning them in the wash or sink just in case the plastic shrinks. Hot water and dogs balls don't mix. 😖 🐩🍒

Hi David. Yeah, know what you mean. They deserve their own cartoon strip. How many families have you seen in your local park who look the same. Kid in his batman costume running about trying to  kick pigeons. Dog barking at its own tail. Mother looking on concerned as her husband wanders about zombie-like after a hour of nagging in the car while driving there.  Just love their expressions. 😄

Hi Marcus. Yes, Lew Stringer is very kind & generous man. I think this character was based on me to be honest. I too was beaten with an ugly stick at birth, then dropped on my face by the midwife. 👶

Hi Marcus. The page does have a moral tale. But I must say your question hurts my head just thinking about it. Very deep.  I suppose it's life imitating art, or karma taking the Picasso. 🤔 

Hi Marcus. Yeah, that circula panel does stand out. I know an issue that has a Tom Thug badge free gift that looks similar. Love this page. 😎

Hi Marcus. Indeed so. Your average city office worker. No neck , one arm and ear. Likely due to cuts. 

Hi Marcus. Spot on. The Oink comic was rebel with a cause. Anarcic and grotesque in equal measures. Lew Stringer made zits legit. Makes you want to not wash in solidarity. 🤧✊

Hi Marcus. Yeah, a rare appearance of Buster himself. Those pesky vampire brats. Always poking their teeth into places not wanted. 🦇🦇

HI Marcus. Oh is that what you called woodwork or metal work class in North America? Interesting. True story.  Me being mischievous during class used to start off making a an ashtray and ended up foraging  ninja star or whittling vampire stake. I was a funny kid. Armed to the teeth, but funny. 🙂⚔️🔪🗡️

Hi Marcus. Apparently a Buster Bar was a regular free give-away and contained liquorice covered toffee.  I'll add a picture of it above. 😋🍫

Hi Marcus. Love anything to do with the Daleks me. Wheelie Bins with attitude.  Yes, 10 seconds is fast in anyone's book. Lew Stringer's fingers have been a blur.   ((((✍️))))  👀

Hi Marcus. Yes, it's my second Doctor Who Magazine page obtained from Lew Stringer. Love that it's a 13th Doctor Christmas themed page too. And I think the first one with the Daleks uploaded is the most current though. That featured in the January issue of the magazine 2025. So recent the ink was still tacky. 😄

Hi Marcus. Love Doctor Who, especially the classic era. Never thought I'd see the day when the Daleks were addicted to social media. No doubt also on ebay leaving negative feedback for fun. 

Hi again Marcus. I love it too. The amount of detain by Lew Stringer is amazing. Not sure if I'd be comfortable having a barbeque with a 1000 screaming kids running amock lobbing hotdogs and spitballs at me as I fry hamburgers with optional cheese and curly fries. 🧍🤸⛹️. 🍟🌭🍔 (((😫)))

Hi Marcus. Coincidentally, this is my first age of James  Hansen "Ricky Rainbow" Buster art. Nice isn't it. I suppose gardening in the rain saves on watering the plants. Method in her madness. Anyway, I do the dishes in the bath. Saves on water.  I've got clean plates and soft hands.

Hi Marcus. Yeah, page was a nice surprise included with the two new pages recently uploaded. Interesting backstory too. I'd love to source the original art this was based on and find the comic too. Have to ask Lew Stringer does he still have it? Fascinating to see the bare bones of a strip before the layers are built up to make the final product. Looks hilarious. 😎

Hi Marcus. What a great page. Ah, yes. The good ol' game of Conkers. A sport of the gods. Where you compete to bash each others nuts into submission. Who hasn't climbed up a tree to harvest their bounty only to be chased away by an angry farmer saying, "get off my land, lol"  The good memories. The numerous court summons. 😄🌰

Hi Marcus. Great page isn't it. Being a lover of horror Lew Stringer found this in his archive and put it aside for me. Love the vibrant purple colour used. Makes it pop. And the Tom Thug/Vampire Brats mash-up is epic. Love when characters  appear in other strips. 😎 

Hi Marcus. Yeah, it does. You're right, lol. Only found this page the other day when sorting out some art & collectables. Forgot I framed it. 🙂

Hi Marcus. I too love the panel where the Vampire Brats parents decide to bite those bullies in the butt after they were so rude. Personally I'd have chosen is different spot to sink my teeth in, although they do say, when in Romania do as the Romanians  do. I find revenge is sweet , especially at source and body temperature.  🦇🦇🩸 ✝️ (((👀)))
