Meet Gloria

This entry was posted in Comics on by

Deputised Experts today introduces Gloria. She’s one of my favourites of the characters I’ve created for the comic. (Actually, she was created for an earlier, abortive, version which dates all the way back to 1997. A lot of the characters from that story have morphed and mutated into the ones in DEx, but Gloria was so neat from the outset that she’s made the transition unchanged.) She doesn’t play a major role in this storyline, but she’ll feature more heavily in future ones.

Please vote for Deputised Experts on these two lists.



Cheers.

My enthusiasm for cow spotting waned earlier this month, partly because of the weather but also because of the elusive nature of the remaining bovines. So yesterday, whilst wandering around getting pictures for this week’s Cycling on the Pavement I thought I should track down a few.

I found one that’s definitely new to me.

Two I may have shot before but they’ve moved or I didn’t cross them off the list.

And three that have realised that life is far better up North and have moved into Urban Splash.



Some cows just haven’t turned up at all. The nice lady at Simply Heathcotes told me they were still waiting for theirs. (Though that may just have been a ploy to get the tramp out of their lobby.)

You know it makes sense.

One of my 100 Things is to clear my debts. Just to make it harder, maybe I should extend it to getting money owed to me paid back.

Right now my principal debtor has had a month and a half and still failed to complete the five minute task of picking a Paypal option and pressing the button. And for the last three days, his answer when asked about this has been “Oh, I’ll do it tonight.” which has become the text message equivalent of The Cheque Is In The Post. Someone who told me he was making �40k a year shouldn’t begrudge a little money to pay back the guy who bailed him out continuously in 2001 and 2002 and is now heavily in debt partly because of those kindnesses.
