BANCKSIE AND MEGGSY

Just a short post to keep in touch but to also mention that I shall be taking a bit of a break from my blog, for a bit…not sure how long…but just to keep in touch I am putting up this old collage portrait I did from several years ago of the cartoon character Ginger Meggs, created by James (Jimmy) Charles Bancks. Good old Bancksie and Meggsy!

Dr. Michael Hill aka Doctor Comics.

My cartoon collage of the Australian comic strip character Ginger Meggs with my added homage.
