I may have said this before (if I wasn't so lazy, I'd check but I'm sure Mince will anyway) but I'll say it again...Beau Peep is timeless. The humour in both the writings and the the artwork will be able to be read years from now and still make you cry with laughter.
What brought this on I hear you mumble, feigning interest?
Blackadder and Monty Python, that's what.
I was watching series 2 episode 1 with my daughter Bob, (the episode where she got her nickname funnily enough) and we sat in absolute sides-sore hilarity at a programme 34ish years old. Why? Because the humour is of the utmost quality, that's why. It is every bit as funny and fresh now as it was in 86 when it came out.
We sat a few weeks ago watching Monty Pythons Life of Brian (1979!) and again the humour in it is simply timeless. Bob has been able to recite Monty Python lines from an age that should have got me in trouble with the authorities, and its one of my proudest achievements.
She was born in 97, and should be a child from a different era yet the humour still comes through.Beau Peep is exactly the same.
In my own humble opinion, BP is every bit as equal to such classics as Blackadder and Monty Python. It is timeless humour of the highest caliber and will be for ever and a day. The strip may be published no more, but the legacy that Andrew and Roger have left is a timeless piece of humour that will never lose its greatness.
Just sayin...
