Title: Nomad narcosis ... "she wiggles her bottom".
Post by: Dung Beadle on March 25, 2016, 12:46:07 AM
I'm hoping to track down two specific and memorable but elusive cartoon strips (one is Beau Peep, the other is Horace).

I recently purchased on ebay issues 2-19 of Beau Peep, I browsed through issues 12-19 and also issues 1-11 online and have not yet managed to locate the particular Beau Peep strip that I recollect seeing in the Daily Star.

If my memory serves me well, the Nomad is working on how to articulate an aesthetic, sensual scene and put it into words for the actor to follow, he ends up translating the sacred into the profane and writes something like "she wiggles her bottom".

Any assistance in helping me track down this specific strip would be much appreciated.

Sounds like the kind of filth I'd write but I have no recollection of it, I'm afraid.

Is this the one Dung Beadle? It's from October 2004.

Aren't you glad we have the brilliantly knowledgeable Captain Archive Baker here to offset the mental vacuum that is Private Goldfish Kettle?

I had a veal steak and a tin of butter beans for dinner tonight.

Full marks for the butter beans! The veal steak, well, not so good.

A thousand blessings upon you Rob! ... for retrieving this elusive pearl.
Each synergistic panel contains the key, relevant elements that I remembered
1) Nomad leaning against the rock, contemplating the literary project.
2) The yearning intention to poetically articulate the high aesthetics of a sensual scene.
3) The crude rendering into tangible written form.

It ticks all the boxes so it's highly likely (99.9%) that this is the one that I originally saw and remembered ... unless it belongs to a mini-series and is one of several variations on a theme (akin to the bottom scratching Bear in "A Man called Horace").

You seem very well-read Dung, so it'll be nice to read some coherent ramblings on here for a change.    But hopefully not all about bottoms  ;D.

Incoherent ramblings are easier, ask any banana.

I am surprised to learn that my use of tinned vegetables hasn't upset you. Given your recent posts, I had assumed that butter beans should only be eaten fresh, organically grown and hand-picked by eunuchs under moonlight.
Anyway, I have now decided that, from time to time, I will announce on here the ingredients of my evening meal. All you have to do is tell me how long I have to live. This is fun!
Tonight, I had...
Cold, skinless chicken thighs from Tesco's. (They were raw when I bought them. I cooked them myself yesterday---I'm no slouch in the kitchen).
Warm potato salad with raw chopped onion through it. (I cooked the potatoes myself---I'm no slouch in the kitchen). The mayonnaise involved was, I confess, shop bought.
Um...and a generous glass of red wine.
Okay, I'm taking the mickey (gently) here, Mincey, but I'd be genuinely interested in what your average evening meal is. Honest!

Plants are good: fresh or frozen, tinned or whole, organic or not. They are much healthier than meat, have none of meat's side effects (such as cancer, heart disease, in fact every one of the top fifteen leading causing of death), and have many benefits (in some cases preventing and even reversing some illnesses). Beans (and all legumes) are very good for you.

The mayonnaise (if it has egg) and the chicken, as I said, not so good.

Red wine apparently is good for those determined to fill their bodies with rubbish; otherwise, not so good, but not as bad as meat or dairy.

As for having everything picked by eunuchs - whatever floats your boat. They'll probably know more about your health than a paltry couple of hundred thousand double blind studies on millions of people.

Did that help? :)

Answer the man!!

What do you eat/drink during this health kick?

Hydrogen free water? Potato free spuds? Pasta Carbonurnae?

The nation requires an answer.

This from the man whom, only a few weeks ago, I witnessed scoffing not one, but a BRACE of large barbecue chicken pizzas within the space of a short afternoon... with desert shovelled in between.

We shall see how long it takes to revert to type. Place yer bets, folks....

Well, today at home we had olives and bread as an appetizer, vegetable samosas, onion bhaji and spring rolls for a starter, vegetable curry for main and . . . well, we had no space left for the dairy-free ice cream.

This was before I read the book. And for the record, I have never eaten sand.

My problem at the moment is not meat, fish, eggs or dairy. The mere thought of the rubbish in each of them puts me off entirely: I can't and don't eat chocolate (almost all of which contains milk), most sweets (beef gelatin), quorn (egg and milk), pesto, creamy soups, malt loaves, and much more that I used to enjoy. My 'butter', cheese, yoghurt, mayonnaise and chocolate is now dairy free.

My problem at the moment is the biscuits that I can eat (ginger nuts, bourbons, hobnobs, pink wafers), nuts and all the dairy-free yoghurts. But I do eat lots of vegetables.

You might like eating your own words, but I'll stick to vegetables. :)

Oh, and by the way, this isn't about you being right or wrong - it's about you believing every word of a book you've just read without question, changing your life as a result, and branding the millions of non-plant-eaters who live beyond their 80s as a bunch of stubborn freakish old gits who got lucky.

Make sure you look both ways when you cross the road, won't you!

it's about you believing every word of a book you've just read without question

I would certainly question the validity of one double-blind study: but repeatable results from several double-blind studies on groups of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of people I would question less. The author points out the deficiencies in each of the studies he draws from. And I figure that stupidly not questioning a book that is based on thousands of scientific studies is better than simply not reading anything at all that might benefit your health.


changing your life as a result

I believe this was the argument smokers gave decades ago to those annoying non-smokers who changed their life after unquestioningly believing what was said in books written by doctors and backed up by medical studies and the statistics concerning deaths from smoking.


and branding the millions of non-plant-eaters who live beyond their 80s as a bunch of stubborn freakish old gits who got lucky.

George Burns smoked and lived to 100 and proved without a shadow of a doubt that the hundreds of thousands of people who die each year from smoking-related diseases actually die from not being on a plant-based diet.


Make sure you look both ways when you cross the road, won't you!

Why? My grandmother never looked at all when she crossed the road, and she lived until she was 98.

I think you're duty bound to scrutinise every single word of each survey, and personally track down and interrogate each one of the people who contributed to them to verify the accuracy of their contributions, before you say another word on the matter.

Hopefully by then, I'll be long gone, and may even enjoy an extra few weeks of life beyond the almost inevitable early death from terminal boredom should you not take my well-intentioned advice.

And I think you should do the same: track down and interrogate . . . oh wait!
