Am I right in thinking that MICK signature on the cover of OH BOY! No. 5 is none other than Mr Anglo? Thanks for sharing If it hadn’t been for the Internet and scanning a lot of material will have been lost and I agree that the BL does NOT have complete runs of these sorts of comics as they were rather sporadic in their publishing cycles anyway.

If I remember the story rightly cars and aeroplanes aren't mentioned at all. There's a copy of this book on ebay at the moment (with the mountie cover), just search for the title. Oh yeah, the cover is reddish/orange cloth with the design "stamped" in black. Hi, the earliest inscription in this book is from 1914, but it might possibly be from earlier.
