A couple of Halloween’s ago I attended a costume party at Shunt with the theme of British Sex Comedies. I chose the above get up which in my own way tried to emulate a mixture of Peter Bowles in that episode of Rising Damp he’s in mixed with a bit of Leslie Philips from Doctor in Clover. Recently Michael Adebayo immortalised this image in his own inimitable style (see below).

Michael is the artist behind one of my absolute favourite comics of recent years Midnight Ninja. Buy it here. You will not be disappointed.

Michael also recently drew a version of the picture above for my birthday.

Here’s Michael and I.
