Scribble Mural Comic Journal

A Sunny Day In Glasgow’s Scribble Mural Comic Journal begins as if you are being awakened by two angelic voices on a bright sunny morning as rays of sunlight pour through a bedroom window penetrating your barely opened eyes which are unable to focus on anything but the shimmering light.
