Having debuted in 1988 in the short-lived British daily, The Post, Steve McGarry's western spoof strip "Badlands" was snapped up the following year by The Sun, Britain's best-selling newspaper. The silly and saucy antics of Marshal Mask and his motley mob of maladjusted misfits were an immediate hit with the paper's 7.5 million readers. During its 12-year run in The Sun, Badlands spawned two best-selling book collections in the UK.

My wife and Mother-in-law both suffer from sever insomnia and when it gets bad it takes its; toll
Each of them has their own behavioral quirks when they’ve gone too many days with not enough sleep
A running joke around here is to excuse anything with the line “Sleep deprivation will do that to you”

Hey Steve – remember me? I met you in Glasgow about 5 yrs ago and fell asleep due to too much ‘heavy’. I showed you some of my strips and you kindly had words with a colleague at ‘The Sun’. As usual – nothing ever came of it…

I moved back to Glasgow 3 months ago if you ever want to meet up for a drink…

It must be 15 years since I was last in Glasgow! I live in California, so that drink might be a while yet:)
