Skinhead Fairy time again

It's that time of year again when you can ridicule that brainless bully Tom Thug by putting him at the top of your tree, with him wearing a pretty dress and fairy wings. Here's my activity page from the 1987 Christmas issue of Oink!

I think it's the first time I've seen Tom Thug officially credited as a skinhead in your artwork - so that's what he was, wasn't he ? Of course he was a bully and dumb as hell, so nobody would see him as a role model - still it took some guts from both you and Oïnk to include a skinhead to star in a comic strip. You can't get more eighties than this ! I'm wondering if he was eating Weetabix for breakfast.

Yep, he was always intended to be a skinhead. I made reference to it a couple of times I think as well as this one. The shaved head, braces, boots... it was all there.
