First up, following on from his appearance in Mr Meecher the Uncool Teacher, I'm happy to announce that I've just produced three two-page Winker Watson strips for the 2013 Dandy annual.
It was one thing to put Winker in the Meecher strip as a guest star, but getting to produce actual Winker Watson strips was a real honour. The editor let me do it my way, too, which I'm eternally grateful for -- so expect more of the slightly tongue-in-cheek treatment he got in the Meecher/Winker crossover strip.
Of course, we've got a bit of a wait, but not too long -- the annuals come out in about April these day, don't they?
Is it going to be an old style again? I really loved it?
ReplyDeleteYes it is! Will told me on Facebook!
DeleteI did reply to that one, Anon -- see below. Only just got the hang of how to reply specifically to a comment -- I'm still quite new to Blogger. (Okay i'm a slow learner)
DeleteYes it is!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, George, and thanks for the comment. :D
This is wonderful news - and not a disappointment at all. I love your winker :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather, and for RT, and -- I say again -- Oo-er missus!
ReplyDeleteWell done Winker Dawburn! What next? John Landers resurrects Billy Whizz?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Simon. By the way, Billy Whizz doesn't need resurrecting, he's alive and well and currently drawn by Nick Brennan.
ReplyDeleteYou swot, Dawbarn! I haven't even started my Beryl or Clott yet. Actually, this is beginning to sound like it could be a blinking good annual! Whizzo, and all that, old bean!
ReplyDeleteHe he! That's me, Wilbur the Dandy swot, always gets his work done ahead of deadline. I dare say you'll be doing yours on the bus on the way to the Dandytown offices, Steve :D
ReplyDeleteActually, I've got more to do, so I needed to get Winker out of the way...
