Hello Kashgar, thanks for your post. I still can't believe that I completely forgot drawing those strips, I am obviously in the prime of my senility. Having said that, I am still pretty sure that I wasn't involved in 'Maxwell Hawke'. It was so early in my career that I'm sure I would have remembered ...

Thanks Steelclaw! You'd think it was impossible to forget drawing footballing dogs, wouldn't you? But I did! They say people who remember the sixties weren't really there, don't they? Maybe I am just a late developer, but I certainly don't remember this, although it is undoubtedly by me. And yes ...

It's a fair cop, Niblet. That is undoubtedly my work, and now that I see it in black and white I do vaguely remember it. Raven was right all along. Now if some brilliant person can find 'Keen and Mustard' in some dusty internet vault, we will see if that was really mine too, not just a miscredited ...

Sorry Guys, I can't help you . As I explain to Crow in the forthcoming interview, I hardly ever met any editorial staff. All my stuff was posted in and the next week's script came to me by post as well. Some London based artists probably visited the office every week, and knew all the ins and outs ...

Thanks, Raven, that is fascinating. Your description of both those stories ring faint bells, but for the life of me, I can't really visualize either of these jobs, in the way I can still see in my mind pages from way back in the early sixties. Strange, isn't it? I can only think that, as I must have ...

Going back a couple of pages, I think I have misled Raven. He mentioned 'Lenny the Loner' in connection with one page stories in 'Buster', and I said that I never drew any, but, looking through Buster's web pages I came across a title banner for 'Lenny the Loner' that is undoubtedly by me. I ...

Absolutely right, digifriend, MikeC and Philcom55! The compulsion nonentities have to criticise those who do what they can't is boundless. Take no notice, Peter. You will never please everybody. For my part, I am most impressed by the work that you and Muffy have posted on this site, and would love ...

Hello, Steelclaw.
Thinking back, I probably didn't do anything for 'Score 'n Roar' as a separate title. Certainly none of the stories from issue 1 that you list ring any bells with me. I did do a few fill in issues of 'Nipper', but that might have been when it amalgamated with 'Scorcher'. It didn't ...

Well Done, Peter, It looks terrific! I haven't had a chance to look at the wildcat yet. I hope to tomorrow.
And Muffy, Thanks for posting that. You are so good at capturing animals in action. The stance of both Bears is just right.
John.

Oops, by some bizzare oversight my reply to you, Peter, got posted before the picture I was commenting on. Does Guildford exist in some cosmic time-warp, or what? Please see the entry before last.

It's looking really good, Peter, keep up the good work. I am consumed with impatience to see it finished, but after a lifetime of deadline pressure, far be it from me to press you! In your own time, mate:-)
What about you, Muffy? You must have something else to show us. Don't leave it there.
Let's ...

It's looking really good, Peter. Can't wait to see the finished picture. That looks like really nice paper, what is it? and what grade of pencil do you use?
Thanks for posting those pages, Phil. It is a bit strange seeing stuff that you haven't looked at for forty years. Strange, but nice!

You people are too damn good! Think of my inferiority complex, won'tcha? I really didn't mean to keep you up all; night, Peter. I saw the half-finished drawing this morning, but couldn't manage to post a reply. It's looking good!
Muffy, that is excellent! Great action. Keep up the good work.
All ...

Peter, Your blog has cleared something up in my mind. I have seen on various blogs references to my drawing Maxwell Hawke in the sixties, and thought to myself " You poor old ferret, you're losing it! You don't remember a thing about that, do you?" And I now realize, after following the link on your ...

I ran out of space....

Raven.
I can't recollect any one-page stories that I did. They must have been when I had moved on from 'Buster' I think it must have been quite restricting for both the writer and the artist.

Thank you all for the responses and the interest, you can't know how humbling and ...
