John Francis Campbell
John Francis Campbell (Scottish Gaelic: Iain Frangan Caimbeul; Islay, 29 December 1821 – Cannes, 17 February 1885), also known as Young John of Islay (Scottish Gaelic: Iain Òg Ìle) was a Scottish author and scholar who specialised in Celtic studies, considered an authority on the subject. Early life John Francis Campbell was born on Islay on 29 December 1821 to Lady Eleanor Charteris (1796–1832), eldest daughter of Francis Wemyss Charteris Douglas, and Walter Frederick Campbell of Islay (1798–1855), MP for Argyll. Campbell was a descendant (great-great-great-grandson) of Daniel Campbell of Shawfield who had bought Islay from the Campells of Cawdor, for £12,000 in 1726.

Pictures For Sad Children
''Pictures for Sad Children'' is a 2007 webcomic, created by Simone Veil (formerly known as John Campbell). The webcomic, about a ghost named Paul, featured a spare and minimalist black-and-white artstyle and depressive, nihilistic themes. In 2012, Veil launched a highly successful Kickstarter campaign to publish a print collection of the webcomic. However, Veil was not able to ship all of the copies to backers, and emails from fans asking when their book would arrive eventually led Veil to burn some of the books. She later stated that only unsaleable copies had been burned and that all backers who had paid at least fifteen dollars were sent their copy. After ''Pictures for Sad Children'' was taken offline in 2014, a fan community rose up to share pages and other content from the webcomic. Overview Veil had posted comics online for some time before the 2007 launch of ''Pictures for Sad Children'', including hourly comics and also longer stories, such as "Stevie Might Be a Bear Ma ...
