This is a question Biggest opportunity I've blown

Not Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

Cartoons for woolworths newspaper
I drew a cartoon sketch once about secondary selling ("so you've bought a kettle sir? You'll need a plug then!") and handed it in to the Woolworths instore newspaper bods. They printed it and i framed it.
I left woolworths after they asked me to submit a weekly cartoon for them to print.
I might be drawing for the beano comic by now.
Instead i went to work for an independent record shop which opened my life up considerably to new bands, vinyl and of course...drugs

Having got a Dennis The Menace book for x-mas, a couple of years back,
the cartoon might be terrible, but it's no worse than the comics.
My kids prefer Horrid Henry, anyway.

Captain Mack was hilarious
but it wasn't a cartoon, just really silly and full of blatant innuendo.

But for inflicting Horrid Henry & Dennis the Menace on us...yes they should be boiled alive in a vat of diseased tramps piss
