Hello Roger,

I've been corresponding with Andrew Christine - my thanks to you and Nigel Sutherland for putting me in touch with him - and he mentioned your meeting at DCT in the 1960s, which also gets a mention at the start of this thread.

I'm also a fan of the 1960s SF puppet series 'Space Patrol' :

http://homepages.tesco.net/~space.patrol/SpacePatrol/Beezer01.htm

- and the 'Beezer' ran a strip in late 1966/early 1967. Knowing little about DCT, despite exceptional help from their syndication department who kindly provided me with colour copies of the entire run, I wondered if you recall the set-up and DCT at that time, and may know who wrote the strips? Or at least maybe know who the editorial team were on 'Beezer' then? The creditless system DCT works to tends to confound us fan/researcher types forty years on!  ::)

Thanks in advance!  ;D

Shaqui, this is a little before my time at D.C. Thomson but I'll make some enquiries and get back to you.

Many thanks Roger - apologies for the time confusion. Andrew Christine mentioned he started there in 1965 so I assumed you were there at the same time, not considering you may have started later...

August 1969, Shaqui. I'm having a beer with a former editor of "The Beezer" tomorrow and will pick his brains.

Was he a cartoon editor, or a real person...?  ;D

This is really going to make your day, Roger - I was 10 in '69, and therefore a huge fan of yours.

Thought you'd be pleased.
I apologise, in advance.

Much appreciated, Roger. Thank you.  :)
