For some reason, this horrible memory popped into my head today. Back in 1978, after years of rejection, Beau Peep was finally accepted by a newspaper---The Daily Star. Andrew and I were, as you can imagine, ecstatic. Our ambition to have a strip in a national newspaper had been realised and now the hard work was about to begin. We were now professional strip cartoonists! After posting two weeks work to The Star, we awaited the response. After a few days, we got a letter from them that said something like "Thank you for the strips. By the way, the correct spelling is "legionnaire", not "legionairre"."
