Between the ages of nine and eleven I kept a little coloured sketch pad in which I filled fifty or so pages with drawings and cartoons. Some were copied from how to draw books and others were original cartoons. I sketched my Poppy who was easy to draw, with his pronounced profile and I made up characters, some that were forerunners of later characters.
I think I must have known something about relationships then that may have delayed me getting married until I forgot the lesson.
The bandit picture was evidence of my long fascination with Westerns.

Yankees on the Moon may have influenced my later Mick and Hoppa on the Moon.
