Joining him were the local talents of Laura Howell (The Beano) and British comic book alumni, Hunt Emerson (Calculus The Cat), who were kept busy all afternoon drawing portraits and cartoon characters relentlessly Indeed, so busy were they I could[...]

I first saw the work of Hunt Emerson on an album cover (I think) owned by my grandfather, with episodes of the 1950s radio show The Goons. I fell in love with his interpretations of the characters, as well as his use of line, his lettering and his mad Tex Avery-style poses of the characters[...]

Nostalgia and Comics do this quite a bit, with monthly meetings at nearby watering holes that can often see you drinking alongside the likes of Hunt Emerson, Laura Howell and John McCrea When I first moved to Brum over a decade ago, it was their friendliness that won me over and I know this is[...]
