Willie's Boots - by John Gillatt, part 1

I picked up "The They think it's all over annual" in Southport on Friday - hailing from 1997 the strapline on the back of the annual proclaims "102 action packed pages of cartoon strips, games, puzzles, photo love stories and much, much more!"

 Interestingly a sticker on the back of this annual proclaims 'free with BBC Match of the Day magazine July issue not to be sold separately'.



So let's see what comic strips are in here, first up is John Gillatt illustrating a character who appears very familiar...

I love everything about this strip, I love Billy's Boots, I love John Gillatt, I love that Elvis and Lord Lucan are hiding in the attic. More high jinks tomorrow...

    It's Lord Lucan, surely?

    Ha! That's ace! There was a Billy's Boots parody in Oink! that I fondly remember.
