I would never even have heard of him if he had not cropped up in your postings in the past and I do wonder if a very large chunk of those folk who now know of his existence simply know of him because of his attacks on you. You have taken to him to task before and the vast majority of us agree with and like you and really wouldn't care if we heard anything from him or about him again so don't give him any more attention - he really isn't worth it - what was his name again? :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778232740434257625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-78859602505213127902013-11-03T23:15:48.220+00:002013-11-03T23:15:48.220+00:00Hi McScotty. Thanks for posting a long and thought...Hi McScotty. Thanks for posting a long and thoughtful comment. You have nothing to apologize for. The fact that you mentioned me first isn't really relevant though, nor is Kid's opinion of my work. (As I said above, he's entitled to think what he likes about my work. It doesn't bother me.)<br /><br />As I said, I appreciate that Kid was defending himself against anon, but he didn't need to put me down in order to explain his own achievements.<br /><br />The ONLY thing that concerned me was that he was implying that if I hadn't had a bad year I wouldn't be selling my old pages. Yes, the extra income has helped, but as I said before, I'm selling them because I want to, not because I need to. I've been selling artwork for quite a while now. It's simply part of my income. Many artists do it.<br /><br />I see today he's claiming my post above says of me that it "reveals a concern that anyone should ever perceive him as being anything less than the success he clearly thinks he is". Again, he misreads the intent. I have never considered myself to be a big success. I'm not the egotist he often implies I am. I keep my head down, get on with my work and I get by. I don't think I'm Mr.Wonderful but nor do I wish to be portrayed as some sort of pauper desperately selling off my possessions.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for commenting.Lew Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260048632152445875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-75433281636461599332013-11-03T19:47:40.350+00:002013-11-03T19:47:40.350+00:00Hi Lew, glad to see you have re started "Blim...Hi Lew, glad to see you have re started "Blimey" again as it is one of my favourite blogs so I look forward to catching up on that. I don't want to get into a "fanboy" war of words as I know there has been, shall we say " tension" between you and Kid Robson in the past. However, in this case I feel I need to set the record straight for folk that don't read the whole thing as it was me that first mentioned your work not Kid Robson and as you also very fairly noted Kid didn't "slag" of your work ( for the record I said I liked your work and that I enjoyed the humour adventure type strip you sometimes do /did) - It was also myself that added that I was sure that you wouldn't rate yourself with Ken Reid or Leo Baxendale [- I didn't mean that to be disrespectful and apologise of it came over the wrong way. plus I think you also said as much once re Reid and Baxendale on "Blimey". <br /><br />I think the "caffuffle" all came about from the "anonymous" person defending your work as you again rightly (and decently) commented that Kid was probably defending himself against his/her comments and up until that post arrived no one had made any ""aggressive" comments, after that it may have gotten a bit silly but again the "anonymous" poster did make a lot of further disparaging remarks re Kid Robson being unemployed and being under medication - not a classy comment to make irrespective of its truth.<br /><br />Anyway I am not acting as a apologist for Kid Robson here (as like yourself he is more than capable of answering for himself) but just wanted to set the record straight as to who raised what first etc - I enjoy both your blogs and work and at no point was I in anyway slagging your work off etc - McScotty<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-1561556551857309852013-11-03T10:33:44.210+00:002013-11-03T10:33:44.210+00:00He's commented on this at the link.He's commented on this at the link.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-47607853735279721252013-11-03T00:24:07.574+00:002013-11-03T00:24:07.574+00:00Cheers Theo!

I think in this instance it was just down to an assumption that because last year I joked 'buy my art and help me pay my mortgage' (or something like that) that Mr.Robson may have thought I wouldn't be selling it if I hadn't had a bad year. But, as I said, there seems to be a market for my old pages and there's no reason why I should hold onto everything I've ever drawn so it makes sense to sell some of them. (I'm keeping all the comics I've been published in though so I still have a record of everything.)Lew Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260048632152445875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-59898708580315720852013-11-02T15:24:35.667+00:002013-11-02T15:24:35.667+00:00What always kind of disheartens me is the constant...What always kind of disheartens me is the constant prying into the lives and minds of creators, from yourself to Mark Millar. If someone discredited or criticised your work, that's absolutely fine, as you've said. I am not a fan of Mr. Millar's work at all, myself. But I get a bit uncomfortable when there is a constant prying into the psychology and the life behind that work, and an attempt to attack the people who, at the end of the day, are trying to earn a living and entertain others.ShayMayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915042535347504104noreply@blogger.com
