I<\/span><\/b>n February ’26 it’ll be three years since my pal Moonmando<\/b><\/i> passed away.\u00a0 He commented on the blog quite regularly and sometimes, when I’m re-reading a post and see a comment from him, it’s almost like he’s still alive and left it only moments before.\u00a0 Obviously, I don’t recall off-the-top-off-my-head every comment he ever made, which lends to the illusion, but one I do remember is when he responded to my Gordie Goose<\/b><\/i> strip which was published in The Boots News<\/b><\/i> back in 1976.\u00a0 He complimented me on the likeness of the cartoon incarnation (in the final panel) of my mother, but his remark now seems to have disappeared, which is a shame, as his ‘voice’\u00a0 on the blog has now been diluted to some degree.<\/p>\n

Which got me thinking – something I do quite a lot, believe it or not.\u00a0 When I was a first year pupil in Secondary school, in art class one day, we were given a small lump of clay and tasked with creating something.\u00a0 Lazy as always, I fashioned a tapering, eight-sided figure, which was covered (by teach) with a ruby glaze then fired in a kiln.\u00a0 It had two eyes like a Corgi<\/b><\/i> or Dinky<\/b><\/i> toy car’s ‘diamond’ headlights, though I no longer recall whether they were added before or after firing.\u00a0 There was a two or three millimetre gap between where the glaze and the bottom of the figure ended, to prevent (so I was told) the glaze cracking when it was removed from the kiln-tray.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have the figure for long, perhaps two years at the most, but I never forgot it, assuming I’d be the only person who remembered it.\u00a0 Imagine my surprise then, when my late pal Joe (he was alive at the time, obviously) mentioned it to me over 40 years later, describing it with surprising accuracy.\u00a0 I didn’t even recall ever showing it to him, but obviously I must have done at some point.\u00a0 This shared ‘connection’ to an item from my early teens reinforced my own memories and confirmed the figure’s existence outside of my own experience.\u00a0 I’m not sure why it mattered to me, but it was good to know it had made an impression on someone other than myself.<\/p>\n

Now that he’s dead, I’m the only person who remembers the ruby-glazed diamond-eyed figure, the memory of its existence ‘halved’ in some way, as there’s now only one person who recalls it, not two.\u00a0 It was a bit like having a ‘back-up’ in case I ever forgot.\u00a0 That make any sense to anyone?\u00a0 I likewise wonder if I’m the only person who recalls Moony’s vanished comment?\u00a0 I’d say it’s extremely likely – or is there someone out there who can prove me wrong?\u00a0 I hope so.<\/p>\n

NEWSFLASH!<\/b><\/i>\u00a0 Hooray, I found Moony’s comment on a post entitled ‘I’m Desperate To ‘Strip’ – Four Times Over…’<\/b><\/i>\u00a0 Callooh Callay!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
