Further to this post, ACTION used to do what they called ‘dead cribs’, strips based on famous books/movies. KIDS RULE OK was based on a 1964 dystopian SF book, ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE, about a world where old people have died & youth people are left to rule. The first edition had a great cover.

When Keith makes a bet for Leicester’s win in Sophie’s name, something inexplicable happens. She begins to think about money – lots of money – and she begins to think about football. The team are on a winning streak, and the bookies are offering her good money to cash out.

Leicester Aero Club is a thriving, active club. “Stalling an Ambush” brings together two things. 1) Pennbury, a proposed eco-town got the go ahead which closed Leicester Airport where the Aero Club are based, however the eco-town stalled, unbuilt due to the economy.

A RED LETTER DAY 100 years ago today the Tigers wore letters on their shirts for the first time, in a 14-0 win in the season opener versus Bath. Originally it was just the forwards with identification, but this was expanded to the whole team in 1931.

Also, if you are ever at Wellingborough railway station, the cute micropub nearby might feel like a nice stop to visit, but it is run by a racist woman, in a partnership with a man who was the town's first (and thankfully only) BNP candidate. Avoid it. It was only good under the previous two owners.
The Little R'Ale House micropub in Wellingborough is a place to avoid.
