Pádraig Ó Méalóid adds, ·        “Comic Publisher Seeks Vocational Comic Creators!” The company’s name, International Print Control, is based on International Publishing Corporation, better known as IPC, who published a lot of UK children’s comics, particularly under their Fleetway Publications imprint. Both Moore and O’Neill worked for IPC/Fleetway in their time, so you can read the text of this ad in that context. Flatcat Alley, the address given at the bottom of the ad, has a very tenuous connection to the story in this book: The only Flat Cat Alley I can find a reference to is for the location of a shop in a 1.

Britannia is a personification of the British Empire. In previous books she appeared on the incomplete Channel Causeway bridge near the white cliffs of Dover (seen in the background), but she was in classical garb.

This being 1. 96. Britannia wears a considerably more colorful (and revealing) outfit. Page 2. Pádraig Ó Méalóid writes, ·        “Alan ‘The Shape’ Moore” – The Shape appeared in the story ‘It’s the Shape’ in Charlton Premiere volume 2 #1 (Charlton Comics) in September 1.

Lyricist and Creator of Anarchist Musical Hair Roots – Been Anywhere Nice!” : - Hair: The American Tribal Love- Rock Musical was the original rock musical, making its debut off- Broadway in October 1. The ‘Been Anywhere Nice’ comment will be familiar to anyone who has ever had their hair cut in a ‘unisex’ hair salon, as the standard question asked by stylists. Moore has an eyeball pendant or brooch just under his beard, in the same place that Dr Stephen Strange wears the Eye of Agamotto. Kevin O’Neill – Colony Room Resident”: - The Colony Room was a British club in Dean Street in London’s Soho, opened in 1. Muriel Belcher. It was generally habituated by artists and other creative types, and eccentrics in general. Dadd Beats Free”: - This obviously means something, but I’ve no idea what!

Perhaps a reference to the artist Richard Dadd? Jess] Page 3. Panel 1. The statue is of Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh, and Piglet, from A. A. Milne’s books of poetry and stories and, much later, various Disney films and cartoons. Pádraig Ó Méalóid adds, The statue of Christopher Robin, Winnie- the- Pooh (as he was called before Disney removed his hyphens), and Piglet dancing is probably based on the drawing from Now We are Six (Methuen, London, 1. The End. The house we are seeing is Cotchford farm in Hartfield, East Sussex.

He was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool. Panel 2. Pádraig Ó Méalóid writes, I can’t identify the make of car, because it’s definitely not my field, but I can tell you what that is hanging out of the door to the petrol tank. In 1. 95. 9 Humble oil launched their ‘Put a Tiger in your Tank’ advertising campaign for its Enco Extra and Esso Extra brands.

To go with this, they later produced a tiger tail you could attach to or hang out of your petrol cap, and sold a remarkable 2. Ken Cameron writes, "The car is a Jaguar E- Type.

The car, which was produced in three series between 1. Gavin Browne and Gary Wilkinson also noted this. Adam Vandergriff writes, "On the first panel of 1. Christopher Robbins as well as Pooh and Piglet in front of the house in statue- form. The subsequent panel features the "Tiger in a Tank" tail hanging out of the car's gas can.

I love this reference but did not notice in your annotations what may be so obvious it wasn't mentioned: ".. Tigger too." My first thought on seeing the stripped tail was our bouncy friend from childhood in the 1. Acre Woods."Panel 4. This is the grown- up version of Basil Fotherington- Thomas, who appeared in four of the the “Nigel Molesworth” novels by Geoffrey Willains and Ronald Searle: Down with Skool (1. How to be Topp (1. Whizz for Atomms (1.

Back in the Jug Agane (1. In the books, Fotherington- Thomas is an effete sissy who skips around school saying “Hullo clouds, hullo sky.”             The “Mrs. Joyful Prize” medal Fotherington- Thomas is wearing is given, in the Nigel Molesworth novels, for Raffia Work. In the novels it is always won by Grabber (see Page 4, Panel 2, below), but obviously Fotherington- Thomas won it at least once. Watch Gaslight Online. Panel 6. “Baz” is of course short for “Basil.” Panels 6- 7. What, the Taddies?

Panel 1.“Dear old St. Cuthbert’s. ‘Custards,’ we called it.”             In the Nigel Molesworth novels the school Molesworth attends is called “St. Custards,” but as far as I know is never identified with its proper name. St. Cuthbert’s” might be a reference to the R. E. Knowles’ romance St. Cuthberts (1. 90.

I’m not sure what the point of the reference would be. Perhaps “St. Cuthbert’s” is the most likely original for “St. Custards.”             Pádraig Ó Méalóid adds, “St. Cuthbert’s/Custards: - I have come across one reference to St Cuthbert's Primary School in Birmingham being called St Custard’s by its pupils. Watch Spring Download on this page.

Perhaps, as Birmingham is not terribly far from Northampton, Moore was aware of this.” “That’s where I met Tim, our lead guitarist.” See Page 5. Panel 3 below. Panel 2.“And Andy, Andrew May, our Manager. Grabber,’ we called him back then.” In the Molesworth novels “Grabber” is the Head Boy at St. Custards and the child of wealthy parents.

Andrew May is presumably an analogue of him.”            Martin Crookall writes, "A clarification on Andy May. Grabber, in the Molesworth books, is always referred to as 'Grabber ma'. I always read that as an abreviation of 'Grabber major', meaning that the Head Boy was the older of two brothers at St Cuthberts. This usage appears in the contemporaneous Anthony Buckeridge series of Jennings books. Admittedly, Nigel Molesworth's younger brother is known as Molesworth 2. But either way, the surname of Andy May clearly comes from that usage."Panel 3.

I respect you, Wolfe.” See Page 9, Panel 3 below.  “And Vince, ‘e thinks the world of you.” See Page 9, Panel 3 below. Panel 6. “I can play ‘Fairy Bells.’” There are a number of songs by this name—I’m not sure which (if any) are being referenced here.
