COMIC STRIP GLASGOW FABULOUS
Are we in danger of taking clubbing too seriously? More specifically, as Glasgow club culture moves ever closer to the mainstream (evidenced by Optimo in The Face, Slam in the Top 40, Silicone Soul on Top Of The Pops) are we going to stand back and do nothing while normal blokes begin to entertain notions of grandeur brought on by a raging blaze of sycophancy? Thankfully, Michael Collin and Daniel Jackson are here to quell the tide with their whimsical comic strip, ‘Glasgow Fabulous’. So far the colourful cast of characters includes the Jengaheads, ‘Diamond’ Jonnie Wilkes, Slam, Silicone Soul and Harri.
