I've been working on the Really Heavy Greatcoat 20th anniversary strip all day, but it's going slowly because there's so much detail. In the meantime, I thought I'd start posting a few old strips... 

This is part one of an eight-strip story arc I did last year. The whole eight strips are currently up in John Freeman's website (just click on the links on the home page) and on the LUKO website (ditto). Because the various people involved were busy, and there were techinical problems, this series was never seen as intended, i.e. with each new strip appearing on a regular basis, so I think I'll take the opportunity here to publish a new strip in the series every few days. This is also a naked attempt to get people to visit the blog, you understand.

OK, here's the premise of the strip. The RHG is an old ARP Greatcoat, bought by John from a charity shop. It was worn by a hippy throughout the 'Sixties, and years of having illegal substances stuffed in its pockets led to it becoming self-aware. In other words, it can talk. John and the Greatcoat got up to all sorts of adventures over the years, until John Freeman and I decided the character was getting too old, so we introduced John's student lodger Kevin and gave him the Greatcoat to wear. Now read on...
