Naturally I paid my respects to Desperate Dan and Minnie the Minx while in #Dundee . I was fortunste enough to be friends with Minnie's dad, Leo, so I had to introduce myself to her.

I miss swapping emails with Leo. He'd be delighted his Amazonian warrior girl lives on.

As a kid I used to repeatedly doodle Leo Baxendale's comic character #GrimlyFeendish on my school exercise books. For my sins, or despite them, I went to a Catholic school 😬 and classes had to take turns organising the weekly mass, as a budding artist I got the job of designing the promotion posters ... Cue Grimly and his bizarre monster chums bidding children to "Go to Mass". 😄 🦇
