+ | It is an unusually sophisticated strip, drawn in a semi-realistic style and framed and staged almost cinematically, with moving points of view and lots of medium close-ups, at a time when most newspaper strips were staged like music hall acts, with the characters seen almost exclusively in full figure from the front. When it ended, it was replaced in the ''Nottingham Journal'' with the more traditionally-staged, and less demanding, ''[[Father and the Family]]'', which Batho drew in a looser, more cartoony style, and which lasted almost four years. |
