For this issue I was asked to draw a cartoon which complimented an article about record collecting. Entitled Precious Plaything, it was devised and written by subscriber Ian Shelley. Essentially it entailed an interview about music collecting conducted by Ian with an interesting person in the TQ orbit. The first victim was Andy Wood himself, the creator and editor of the illustrious zine.
It would be foolish to claim that the character in the strip was not, at least partially, based on Andy himself. It has a cat in it after all. Obviously the idea that he would put buying vinyl ahead of anything else is clearly a fabrication. Andy is a very considerate individual who doesn't spend all his money on records. He buys malt whisky too.
