Making an unofficial guest appearance in the strip is Tom Thug's cat Satan from IPC's Oink! comic (sitting on the postbox) and in the corner, it's Loose Brayne, Brickman himself holding the sign. All part of the Lewniverse!
The shop sign refers to Marvel editors Richard Starkings and John Tomlinson who sometimes did the colour separations for the strip. (All of my Marvel strips were coloured by the staff.) Jane Hindmarsh was also on staff but I can't recall what else she did apart from colouring. (That's not to say she wasn't an editor or something. I just can't remember.)
You can read Phil's thoughts on the strip over at his piggin' fantastic Oink! Blog at this link:

Nice strip ^_^ there was a Jane Hindmarsh who was Marvel Uks art director or editor or something I believe in the mid 1980s did some work on Doctor Who Mag as well as Starburst and probebly some others..
ReplyDeletequick check online doesn't help much.. but confirms she did work for Doctor Who Mag for a bit in the mid 80s..
Rings a bell. It must have been Jane Hindmarsh. I don't think I ever met her, although the two Marvel Christmas parties I attended were a bit of a blur. :)
