I had all the footrot flats books! I still regret taking them to the oppy in a fit of decluttering

That is the risk. Get rid of something and suddenly want it umpitty years later.

I guarantee that's how my dad got those books, prolly a birthday present from his sister or mum. I have them now, because I still go through them lol it's fun seeing a comic online and being like "oh! I have that one!" 😂
