Q1  Who won the World Cup in 1966?

A1  If you didn’t know it was England, you wouldn’t have asked – move on to a relevant FAQ please.

Q2  Where are Abie and Os from?

A2  Read the “Roots” page.

Q3  No, I mean, what gave Galf the inspiration?

A3  Galf has cartooned on and off since school days (mega past) and has had an interest in maritime history for many years – especially sailing ships of the Georgian Navy – so when he retired from his day job he combined the two – and the rest is future history.

Q4  How are the AB&OS cartoons made?

A4  The first eighty-two were pen drawings scanned B&W at 600 dpi, saved in .TIF format – also reduced and saved in .JPG format for emails, viewing, etc.  Thereafter they were drawn on an iPad Pro.

Q5  Why were AB&OS published in Warships IFR magazine?

A6  Why not?  It’s simply the best publication about the navy, and other navies.  Okay, it is for today’s navy, but today’s seamen are just the same as they used to be, but a bit more modern.  They still get themselves into the same scrapes.
