Donutter wil be seen on the computer screens of the USA, which can only be a good thing!

Simon, I've sold out to the USA years ago-----most of my strip is based in New York, and I deliberately use American spellings! Any integrity or pride in my British heritage is long gone---

However, Andy Capp is fairly widely-known in the States, so there you go--------good ideas know no boundaries.

Well you don't get much more English than him. What gets me is that Mandy Capp which is the biggest load of bollox ever can get a slot in the Nationals. Playing on his Name really and a bit cheeky.

I don't know wether to be inspired or discouraged somewhat by this incredible Story. He was extremely dedicated and determined. Makes me feel a bit inadequate. Having said that, he did acheive the highest accolade of any Cartoonist and I suppose I'm just really a survivor in this Game for now. Remarkable Man he was indeed. A real grafter.
