Thanks to Times Past, Bud Neill’s travel case is on its way back to his family 🧳
IT IS NOT every day you discover a little piece of GlasgowWhen Ross and Sam Porter found a leather suitcase engraved with the name of one of the city’s most famous writers and cartoonists, they were stunned.Bud was one of Scotland’s greatest cartoonists, creator of famous sheriff Lobey Dosser, sheriff of Calton Creek in the wild west of Arizona. At the height of his career, Bud was a megastar, earning a massive £1000 a week in the 1950s and 60s.
Adam MacPhee, whose mother Nora is Bud’s daughter, read our story about the Porters’ unexpected find.“My mum and I were amazed to read your story about my grandad’s case,” he said. “It’s incredible that it should turn up after all these years. Adam explains: “He used the case during a visit to his cousin in Canada. My mum remembers the brightly coloured clothes he brought back for the family – a big contrast to the drab offerings here at the time.”
“We nearly threw it out, but something made us check out the name and we were absolutely amazed to find out Bud Neill was a famous Glasgow cartoonist and known throughout the world,” said Ross. A sticker on the case, with the name William Neill, gives details of a journey he’d taken on a ship called the Laurentia – the Donaldson Atlantic line – in August 1951.
