Biography[]

British.

Fictional Portrayal[]

List of instances where John appears in the comic:

  • In this Bobbins strip, there is a person stating that he is glad that this story is over, while holding up a sign that says: "SORRY, READERS". It looks like this is meant to be the author himself.
  • In this SGR guest strip by fellow webcomic artist Jeffrey Rowland, John (aka The Englishman) is bringing Shelley Winters to life in the real world, in order for her to be his bride. She choses Jeffrey instead.
