Based on a true story, the "I never seemed to have much luck with girls" graphic novella appeared in the cult English indiepop fanzine "Two pint take home. Rumour has it that it's written and badly drawn by a very young Ernst U. Boarking.

#1 The names on the list are all singers in '80's New Wave and Indiepop bands, except Gertrude (of course) and Edwina Currie who was a Tory government minister.
#2 One of the phone numbers was real! (Amelia from Talulah Gosh)
#3 The original draft had Angel Babe in the last panel saying "Fuck off!" but the publishers, aware that their Mums would read it, watered it down to "No."
