Sleep Clinic - Neville Colvin

One for fans of newspaper strip collections today...yes it's 'Sleep Clinic'. I'm aware of one other similar publicaton by The Daily Express ('Isometrics') which I'll feature on the blog soon. Were there other health based newspaper strips I'm not aware of???

Stella is definitely not asleep here!
