May Un Mar Lady
May un Mar Lady is a comic strip written in Potteries dialect that first appeared on 8 July 1986 in the North Staffordshire Evening Sentinel and has been a local institution for a quarter of a century. The full twenty-year run (7,000 strips) of cartoonist Dave Follows' daily cartoon strip was republished in The Sentinel, as May un Mar Lady Revisited.
Sentinel columnist Alan Cookman described the comeback as: "The most exciting homecoming since Stanley Matthews returned to Stoke from his footballing adventure with Blackpool."

Famous quotes containing the words mar and/or lady:
“In those days, the blag slag, the waste of the coal pits, had only begun to cover the side of our hill. Not enough to mar the countryside nor blacken the beauty of our village. For the colliery had only begun to poke its skinny black fingers between the green.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
“Quoth she, “I have loved thee, Little Musgrave,
Full long and many a day;”
“So have I loved you, faire lady,
Yet never a word durst I say.”
“I have a bower at Bucklesfordbery,
Full daintyly it is deight;
If thou wilt wend thither, thou Little Musgrave,
Thou’s lig in mine armes all night.””
—Unknown. Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard (l. 17–24)
