Candy and Andy Book (1968)

Candy and Andy are Strange England at it's very strangest.  I'm going to be showing you a number of images of Candy and of Andy and their "guardians" and every single one of then has an "uncanny" wrongness that's as hypnotic as a slow-motion car crash.

I'm not sure where or when but somehow they were hiding in my head, lurking in the; too early to remember them as anything more than a strong feeling of familiarity.  I saw the cover image above and I suddenly remembered then again.  Perhaps my elder sister had the comics?  Perhaps I saw the book in a bookshop or perhaps they just climbed in there on their own; Cuckoo-kind, Stepford Pinocchios with dreams of becoming something even more than real children!

Enjoy the nightmares.
