FROM EARACHE TO ETERNITY
by Mick Kidd
including photos, letters and articles
A droll stroll through Mick Kidd's back pages. 'From Earache To Eternity' begins with the author's birth just before D-Day and ends with a pensioner's lifestyle, post financial crash.
Mick enjoyed what may have turned out to be a blip in history: free education, free healthcare, cheap food, cheap travel. full employment, and latterly, the Freedom Pass.
After university, he worked as a liberal studies teacher, a waiter, a community worker and an avant-garde film distributor, before co-founding and selling the seminal BIFF cartoons in Camden Lock. Later, BIFF became a regular in the Saturday Guardian for over twenty years, which meant Mick never having to get a proper job again.
Somewhere along the way, he served egg and chips to Harold Wilson on the Isles of Scilly.
