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!
This is the second batch of stock I've had from publisher BD Must. The first, back in March, was offered to Patreon supporters first and sold out within a week.
Note that this is a much shorter story than The Rainbow Orchid but does also include two back-up strips (The Sword of Fate and The Girdle of Polly Hipple). It was first serialised in The Phoenix Comic in 2013 and you can learn more about it from these old blog posts here.
The Secret of the Samurai in English has been very difficult to get hold of since publication in 2020, and I'm grateful to BD Must for making stock available for me to sell here in the UK.
