#imaginaryfriends late in 1966 I started doing comics with Edgar and his side-kick Tommy the head, formerly Tommy Gun, rival to Action Man (after an unfortunate incident with a neighbours dog, left me with just the head. I drew close to 170 pages of their adventures over 2 years. #draweveryday #ded2022

#imaginaryfriends 1965. Peggy. #draweveryday #ded2022 While exploring the hospital one night, I came across some men playing cricket with bats and odd shaped balls wrapped in plastic, it wasn’t until one rolled near me, & came open that I realised that they were body parts destined for the furnace. I think Peggy was my way of understanding & not having nightmares.

#imaginaryfriends Poppy 1963. She turned up at my Auntie Susie’s house, we’d stay there some weekends. I used to play in the meadow opposite the back of the house, she appeared out of the long grass. She’d sing to me when I was sad. #draweveryday #ded2022

#imaginaryfriends 1963: Glup! #draweveryday #ded2022 This little creature turned up after surgery. I always think of it as being male, (maybe it’s the flat cap) though it sounded very much like Betty Boop.

#imaginaryfriends Tina: 1962. I had a number of imaginary friends with missing limbs, or with crutches/walking sticks replacing limbs. Tina appeared to me while I was having a plaster cast replaced. She giggled a lot. #draweveryday #ded2022
