Hi everyone. So last week I started to get a tickly throat on Wednesday which I was able to clear with the occasional cough. No biggie.

I’m just nipping on to say normal blog service will resume once normal body and mind service has resumed (and to show you this very unflattering photo). I’m fully jabbed and boosted and don’t want to imagine how I’d be if I wasn’t. Take care of yourselves pig pals, let’s look out for each other, continue to be kind, and I’ll see you back here soon with lots of retro comics goodness.
