Winy Wilberforce is probably my oldest character, dating from around 1981. He's certainly the most versatile and seems to withstand any drastic reinvention I throw at him, adapting to any situation or story idea with protean changes. He moved from short humourous slapstick stories, to longer Carl Barks / Herge-influenced adventures, then into mystical realms of symbolism, in stories packed with religious and alchemical symbolism. A planned sequel to Voice of the Wilberforce will be called Windy's Alchemical Days and is still work in progress. His companion Harry Excess the fishmonger / fishman made his first published appearance in the Ocean Lands story, although he existed before that. Early Wilberforce one-pagers from 1981-1982 are very crude drawings and probably will not be publicly shown.
