If you are at all interested in the history of rock music from a Scottish perspective this is essential reading. While not comprehensive it covers a lot of the essential figures from the early sixties when the music scene was fresh and REALLY exciting!

Sent this to a friend in Arizona. He's not from Glasgow - but he loves both "The Wee Boy" and "Further Adventures".
I'm too young to have seen this first time round - but I have been known to collect a few comics. This cartoon-strip was done by a local lad, and is inspired (I think) by post-war Glasgow's love for the Wild-West, and the Westerns prevalent at that time.
Both "Lobey's The Wee Boy!" and "Further Adventures of The Wee Boy!" collect several funny stories, mostly from Glasgow's Evening Times, and there is one from The Sunday Mail.
The earlier drawings are sheer magic, and I would put this happily on a level with the more familiar Charles Schulz's 'Peanuts' for humour, characterisation and plot structure. I'm ashamed that Bud Neil felt the need to change the drawing style of later strips - as is documented in The Further Adventures book.
Both of these books demonstrate the warmth and character of the creator and Lobey himself: a man with all the attitude that Glasgow can give you - and he rides a wild horse (wi' two legs!) - called wee Elphie! So, there.
There may be around 60 years since its original publication. Lobey's popularity may have waned, there have been great changes wrought on the city itself, but this strip is still recognisably Glasgow. Even for the fact that this character has been out of the public eye for (too long) years, there's a nice wee statue of Lobey standing on Woodlands Rd.

This book was everything I expected. Very nostalgic cartoon strips from the 50's&60's.
It also explains the story of the statue of Lobey, Rank Badjin &Elfie in Glasgow, which is the worlds only bipedal equestrian statue
