Taking a summer breather

 

Hardly the best weeks emotionally with the legendary Grump being unwell with a lot more to do around the place plus all the usual outburst and that to deal with so it's hardly surprising that what spare moments have been available being up, on the job from around a quarter of Six in the morning have been more around creature comforts such as my plushies and reading comics which you can just put down after a few pages and just resume.

I have a mixture of a few originals of comic or tv series and a number of more recently acquired ones both new-old or newer ones such as the modern icon that is Shaun the Sheep.

This time of year especially I tend to miss the sheer variety of comic summer specials we had in the seventies and eighties even though with the latter decade we lost a number of classic girls titles as the market was moving to a more Tween magazine style for the girl who wanted to ape her older sister who had Jackie and Just 17 for star gossip, tips and relationships stuff.
