They put him next to a representative of my real favorite comic, too.

I'd heard of this ages ago but having all the published strips in various books I knew I wouldn't buy it.<br><br>October also sees the release of the new Asterix book, which I will get definitely. I can't get enough Asterix.

He's probably the stereotypical image of a typical Yorkshire husband about 40 years ago. I don't know whether people in the South of England continue to hold that extremely false stereotype, but if they do then it could explain why it is (to the best of my knowlegdge) still published in the Daily Mirror.
