Anyone here read the Beau Peep comic strips?

No not that Beau Peep

 

It's written by Roger Kettle and Andrew Christine and has had me in tears over the last few days. The stupidity of Dennis, the utter Wylie Coyoteness of the Nomad and the Beau himself, everything about this cracks me up. I'm hoping if some of you here haven't read it you'll pick up an annual second hand or something and give it a try

 

My scanners on the blink (Actually it's lost in the jungle of my bedroom) so i could only get some strips off the net to show you

Methinks this has something to do with British Humor.

Methinks it has more to do with Kilty's rather unique taste in cheesy, derivative comic strips that appear in trashy British tabloids. Sorry Lewis, but that strip was fifth-rate.

Well unburry that scanner and scan the ones that had you in tears.

If you enjoy it then that's cool (I ain't no arbiter of these things).

 

Let's face it, humourous British newspaper comic strips were rarely as good as their U.S. counterparts, as well as being far too parochial. The exceptions would be Andy Capp, and possibly Flook by Trogg (but that was clever rather than funny) and Bristow. And I suspect that you've never heard of the latter two strips, as they've long since departed....

 

Meanwhile the U.S. and Canada have had Peanuts, Beetle Bailey (Beau Peep is a bit of a rip-off of this strip), B.C., Wizard Of Id, Bloom County, Doonesbury, Calvin And Hobbes, The Far Side etc. all of which are top-draw and have been imported over 'ere.
