Watch video of Gordon being presented with the original of the Gerhard Marx cartoon.
Merry Christmas! As the world's economic system looks increasingly like a basket case and we are all at risk of descending into unremitting gloom, this issue focuses mainly on the brighter side of life and aims to put a smile back onto your face.
So we've dedicated this issue to our very own honorary Goon, the one and only, the once seen and never forgotten, Gordon Rowley, without whom this Society would not be what it is today. We had to be quite selective in the contributions, because so many were queuing up to contribute something.
The masterpiece that graces our front cover has been specially created by that foremost exponent of the art of cactus folk caricature, Gerhard Marx, who admits to having thoroughly enjoyed working on this one, and it is indeed arguably his finest ever. Gordon had no idea this was coming, so, fingers crossed, he will be pleasantly surprised and find the imagery well judged. To balance the front cover, we've entrusted the rear cover to a celebrity of the comic world, Desperate Dan, who also lives with Gordon at Cactusville, and who wanted to pay his respects to his cohabitee. It shows young Desperate giving chase after Cactusman, one of his three sworn arch-enemies. (First published in the Dandy 1990. Cc D C Thomson & Co Ltd)
