Raising the roof

Inside the impressive Gothic walls of the McManus Galleries, another, slightly more humble, homespun building is taking shape. The estate agents of South Chelsea might call it a bijou single-storey residence with commanding views of the Highlands. I like to think of it as the but an' ben, rendered (almost) entirely out of DC Thomson newspapers.

Paw Broon's armchair is waiting to be installed by the fire, and Maw Broon's kitchen is taking shape, complete with cooking range, jeely pan and dresser, stocked with crockery that looks just like the real thing (cartoon-style) but is light as a feather.

Pictures coming soon!
