These comics tell the ongoing story of Deirdre, a struggling artist, and her encounters with the intergalactic superhero Teela and the megalomaniacal gallerist Miffy Tweeb. They present a surreal and mystifying picture of an art world populated by aliens, celebrities, and misfits, all seemingly oblivious to the fate of the main character whose imagination and thoughts are exposed in the texts. The most recent four of the comic strips were drawn in response to requests from everything magazine by Steve Rushton and Luci Eyers. Without their support, some of these comics may never have been realised.

Artists statement (1977)

"My recent work has crossed different media: comic strips, photography, sculpture, video & performance. I have been working on a super-hero character called Teela, who began life on the pages of a comic book and has since become "real" through the act of dressing up. I have made the costume and accessories to assume the identity of this glamorous and powerful alter ego. Teela has a laser gun, 10 tonne weights, a vast throne complete with flashing control panel and an impressive display of wall mounted trophies. These are the heads of alien enemies, slain during ferocious intergalactic battles.

I have another character - Deirdre, an artist, who also features in all three of my comic strips. She is the exact opposite of Teela; nervy, dowdy, unsuccessful, and envious. Deirdre looks wistfully at the rich and famous of the artworld, craving their success and popularity, destined to be an onlooker by her own lack of confidence. I use these two alter-egos as vehicles to explore issues of power, identity and the position of the artist."
