'Showdown in Glasgog!' ....and show up he did, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Johnny heading through from Pester Wails to receive the (slightly faded and frayed around the edges) red carpet treatment at Hope Street Studios. Of course the point of this mission, which he chose to accept, was to duly deliver a copy of (a brand, spanking new) The Girl With The Flowery Trousers comic strip page fer inclusion in The Great Big ComicScene UK Annual 2019....
This comic connection dates all the way back through the mists of time - Agent Rob's comic dreams(/nightmares) but a distant twinkle in his skoolboy eyes - to the late 80's when Agent Johnny contributed to the Atomic, er, comic. Indeed, all 13 issues of this underground gem are available to view here courtesy of editor/artist/Johnny's old mucker Tony Foster (who is currently masterminding a truly impressive array of comics and comics related journalism here)....
Naturally things didn't quite go to (Rob's) plan, and the morning/early afternoon wiz spent quietly and diligently 'doctoring' the A4 artwork, adding those (unfinished) finishing touches (instead of the much anticipated swilling, chuntering and noshing of tasty grub). Though 'hard wurk' has its own rewards and page completed our two Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. then took the train oot ter Anniesland 'fer to visit' 'Old Ma Miller' and 'wee sis', Our Man From Pester Wails enjoyin' a moment's peace reclined on the sofa, contentedly strokin' (the quite superbly and supremely aptly named) 'Luna' the cat....
