Rutland Weekend & Shang A Lang - June 16 & 17 1975

What a slice of history this spread (which you'll find in the My 1975 Diary 2025 Calendar, six good months of use still to be had) is. Rutland Weekend Television and Shang A Lang on the telly, and Records For The Day by Gary Glitter and a white band putting on black accents. The 1970s, you really had to be there.

I see that I'm busy working on my Loony Selection Encyclopedia at this time, a comic book follow up to the previous year's Loony Buke. Very heavily influenced by the Monty Python and Goodies books I'd been getting for recent birthdays and Christmasses, I daresay these attempts at comedy writing and drawing have not aged well. Thank heavens I don't know where they are. (NB: I do know where they are, having found them when we cleared out Mum & Dad's house five years ago. I am not minded to share them with the world.)
