Taken from a #Tumblr post about my pfp:
Growing up I had a love/hate relationship with #RupertBear. It's obscure now but it's a long running series of books. I was teased at school, but also my parents gave me the books. The stories are problematic & nostalgic.

In 03, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (#AlanMoore & #KevinONeil) reimagined Rupert as a mutant creation of Dr Moreau.

O'Neil's art combines conflicted feelings about UK heritage, my love of books, #nostalgia, #trauma, all mixed up
