G.I. Bride statue in Partick Station in Glasgow. Appearing in Bud Neill's Lobey Dosser comic strip, she represents the Scottish women who married American soldiers during WWII, only to find their American dream was not all they hoped it would be. As in this statue by Ranald Maccoll, she's usually seen trying to hitchhike back to her home in Pertick.

I said hello to Lobey Dosser, El Fideldo and Rank Bajin when I was in Glasgow today. Always makes me smile to see the statue of Bud Neill’s Sheriff of Calton Creek immortalised in bronze.
Rank Bajin sitting in the back of El Fideldo behind Lobey Dosser on a statue on Woodlands Road in Glasgow celebrating the life and work of the artist William 'Bud' Neill. Erected in 1992, it was created by Tony Morrow and Nick Gillan and was funded by public donations.

Appearing in Bud Neill's much-loved Lobey Dosser comic strip, she represents the Scottish women who married American soldiers during World War II in the hope of finding a better life in the U.S., only to find their American dream was not all they hoped it would be. As in this statue by Ranald Maccoll, she's usually seen trying to hitchhike back to her home in Pertick.
