Your recollection of the first Tim Traveller script was pretty much spot on! I wanted to keep the idea simple, rather in the manner of Jimmy and His Magic Patch, and figured that most children would have a bike and one that could travel in time would be incredibly cool! Tim won the vote ...

Couldn't agree with you more ISPYSHHHGUY! As succinct a summing up as could be. One tip I got years ago from a colleague has helped me immensely and I forgot to mention it in my original reply. That is, to think in pictures, to visualise as strongly as possible what you want things to look like and ...

Hi ISPYSHHHGUY!

The 'where do ideas come from?' question!


I can't say there is a particular method, I can only tell you how I go about it. You have to have imagination and trust in your own judgement of what is or isn't funny in the context of each story. For me, the crucial thing is always ...

Hi Jonny Whizz,

I'd have to say that the jobs I looked forward to writing most were Minnie the Minx for Jim Petrie and Les Pretend for John Sherwood. I liked Minnie's imagination and flights of fancy and the relationship she had with her dad - he was obviously meant to disapprove of her antics but ...

Many thanks to you, Kashgar! I did think long and hard about posting in such detail. Hopefully the forum members will be kind with their questions!

Digifiend - the Gnasher and Gnipper is a Barry Glennard (B.G.) reprint and not written by me!

Cheers, Colcool - I stuck to two letter initials for ...

Hello, everyone!

As today is the start of my 25th year as a writer for DCT, I thought it might be of interest to forum readers to see what I'd written and who I'd written it for - at least you can have a guess at the initials of all the artists! This is as complete a list as my memory can make it ...

I remember this one! The country singer's name was Hank Kerchief and one of his previous 'hits' was 'Put down that pool cue, Grandma, the baby's poultice needs changing'! Great stuff from Tam that stuck in my memory, alas I can't give a specific issue number!

I see, according to their website, that Jamie Smart was voted the most popular artist in the Dandy by their readers! Glad to see the brilliant My Own Genie being recognised!

It's official! Kev F and Leo Baxendale are on a par! Blatant self-publicists with enormous egos! Has 'modesty' been deleted from your dictionary, Kev? Your arrogant rantings in this and other posts is really beginning to grate! You've a long way to go before you're even one tenth as good as Steve ...

I've noticed that on The Dandy's website that they have created a poll fir people to vote for their favourite artists. It is restricted to those that work for the Dandy but they have handily all done self portraits! Some unexpected surprises there! Now I'm off to vote for Jamie Smart and Steve ...
