Hi, I'm Mark, author of the illustrative cartoon book 'Retroland - A Humorous Look At 1970s And 1980s Britain' (Mark Patterson), published by Austin Macauley (available online - well, I've got to try to sell it where I can!).

I'm currently working on writing and illustrating a second volume of this, but I am keen to turn my hand to comedy writing, as I have produced all my own material for 'Retroland', so there's hopefully potential there.

I look forward to being part of this forum. You've done it up nicely.

Helloo Mark.From what I remember of the 70's and 80's there wasn't much to laugh about except flares and tank tops perhaps.Good luck

Tank top on cover and flares are the subject of the first cartoon.

Any cartoons about popular British TV shows of the 70s and 80s?

Welcome

Hello. There are plenty, but references are slightly changed or made obliquely, because I had to avoid copyright infringement.
