This must be about 3 years old. Maybe more. It's one of a series of strips I did with Alex Cluness without really knowing where they were going. I was editing the Shetland Life at the time but the tone of the work wasn't really appropriate for the magazine. I'm still really pleased with most of them and the style I was developing came into its own. I've reeled it in a lot since then partly because I started doing a more conventional strip for a more conventional audience but also because it was in danger of wigging out. My inking style depended too much on instinct. I practically did it while looking away. I still kinda do that to be honest. Obviously it doesn't always work so good. Maybe we'll come back round to these someday though. Rework some of them perhaps.
