The Really Heavy Greatcoat by myself and Lancaster-based artist Nick Miller was published fairly regularly for about 20 years in alternative Lancaster print titles such as On The Beat and Off the Beat and online on virtual-lancaster.net.

The strip’s last regular appearance in print was in the now defunct Comics International.

When
last seen in a regular strip, Kevin, the current owner of the Greatcoat
– a talking garment with transcendentally dimensional pockets – was a
student. He was clearly not postgraduate material so Nick and I reckon
he’s in a bedsit in Skerton, Lancaster somewhere, eking out a life on
benefits…

If anyone ever offered to pay us to write it, it might
still be running today – but Nick still creates an annual Review of the
Year, bless him!

Happy New Year!
