Happy birthday Boomers! It's the anniversary of the release of STC, so here's its first mention, and elaborate contextual build-up, from the current draft of the Big Book of Bulmer Bollocks, in which we examine why the UK was ready to embrace a comic like this, and why it was just what young Dave in particular needed.
