This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.
Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!
As 2008 marks the 70th anniversary of The Beano, Minnie is bringing a cake to the party, though the candles appear to have got out of hand somewhat!
Each day I will be choosing a character from those suggested by the members of the Garen's A-Z of comic strip characters Facebook group - if you want to suggest any, please feel free to join in.
Three characters each had two votes for the letter M (with quite a diversity having one each) - Mysterio, Minnie and Morpheus. Minnie was suggested by Alex Hughes and Laura Howell, and I picked her due to a distinct lack of female characters so far!
