It was an absolute pleasure to see journalist Edward Herring back in action in the pages of last week’s Echo, albeit by an interdimensional sleight of hand involving the Mullcogan Times. Edward’s journal was a much-welcomed staple of The Echo’s pages throughout the 1990s, reporting on the political intrigues of a mediocracy not unlike our own.
I’m also chuffed that Stephen Axelsen, or a simulacrum thereof, is back illustrating Edward’s work. I look forward to the next instalment and wonder if the amanuensis known as Production will return to the fray.
