BLOG : WEBBLEDEGOOK
inkyBlog

This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.

Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!

X IS FOR... XAVIER
Mon 4 Aug 2008

X is for Xavier, Professor Charles Xavier, telepathic genius founder of the X-Men. His legs were rendered useless after an alien creature, a Quist named Lucifer, dropped a stone block on him in the Himalayas. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and made his first appearance in X-Men no.1 in September 1963.

Well, I have to admit... a man in a wheelchair wasn't the most fun thing to draw first thing on a Monday morning! I've only myself to blame, of course, but the following people can share the responsibility as they voted for him... Jay Eales, Kelvin Green, Rol Hirst, Irene Mar and Thalia Proctor... thank you! :-)

Go and check out Sarah McIntyre's foray into the world of A-Z, as Vern the sheep wasn't very happy at not making the grade for V (despite 2 votes), and this has now been rectified.
