paul mullen told me i needed a nom de plume when i started writing for monkey bizz. we were on the train going somewhere or other at the time and i was reading a story about a chip shop in yorkshire exploding. the headline was " chip fireball " so we used that.

That figures, he liked Fireball XL5, which would explain the connction and his amusement. He mentioned it to me once some years ago in relation to a cartoon in the Biz ...never did get done. Well the mystery is cleared up.
