Lew Stringer Comics: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I was going to show an old Christmas strip of mine but my back issues are under boxes of other comics and stuff at the moment and I haven't time to mess about so... here's a photo of me and my grandad Bill Bakewell from Christmas Day 40 years ago. We didn't know it then but 1979 was sadly to be his last Christmas so I'm glad we had this photo taken. He was the best grandad I could have wished for and I was very proud of him.

I don't make a big fuss of Christmas but whatever you're doing this year I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for following this blog! My other blog (Blimey!) will end on December 31st but this one will continue so I hope you'll stick around.
