I didn't get a curry Bobby, no
But I did pop into the library and also that Bag O' Nails bar that I told you about before
Too busy down that side of town though, there's plenty of places just off it that are still very good but with less foot traffic -

I haven't read it Bobby, no
I have seen parts of it at various exhibitions and was very interested in getting around to reading it but then I heard that a different author took it over (Money problems with Pat getting his proper cheques) and so figured it was probably being marketed to me rather than finding its own way.
Is it as good as 'they' say it is? -

I’ve only just started it but it’s a promising start. I didn’t know that about it not being Pat all the way through. That’s quite disappointing. Although the collections only list Pat as writer so maybe these just collect his material.

It's touted as "The best British comic book of all time" by some folks Bobby, and so you can see why it appealed to me
But, I've never gotten round to it. I fear that it might actually be brilliant then then stop being brilliant but not quite finished.
One of those things. But I'm glad you've got it now. Now you can tell me when to stop and leave it be -

Well I’ve checked and the collections end with the last of Pats material which see Charley to the end of WW1. That’s a blessed relief as I don’t think that I would have it in me to read a continuation by some random, picking up Charley’s story in WW2 and making it a more generic war strip.

Well the admins will see by my IP address that I’m not a sock, so you’ve just wasted your time haven’t you.

There we go Bobby! I knew there was something in what I was saying. It was a comic book fan who brought it to my attention and cautioned me about it. So the First World War books should be fine, apparently the next batch are still good - just nowhere near as good as the First World War ones -

I shall let you know how it goes, but I may take a while. I’ll be reading it between other things.

You should never rush a good read Bobby
Take your time and enjoy it, let me know how it goes -
