Well, believe it or not, it's 30 years to the day since the first Beau Peep strip was published.
To see this first ever strip, and the next 249, have a look at Book 1 which Diane of the CBBPFC has kindly put on line here: www.beaupeepbooknumber1.homestead.com
Well done and many congratulations to Roger and Andrew, and we all look forward to the next 30 years ;)

Happy 30th! ;D

Happy Birthday, Beau! (When is it Dennis' birthday?)

Happy Birthday, Beau! (When is it Dennis' birthday?)
September 4th. Not sure about the year though. And Beau's is actually July 6th.

Thanks, Rob---I might have guessed you'd remember. I was just a boy when it all began, of course.
-
.. I was just a boy when it all began, of course.
Yea, course you were Roger ;). Well, if you can remember that far back, let me know what your personal favourite strip or series is, and I'll post them up on here. They don't have to be those reprinted in the books either. Ask Andrew what his is as well, next time you see him..

Isn't it about time that Beau was promoted and..... that Dennis had a bike?

I hope you're sending me some of that.

One silver cake board, on its way.

It's at times like this that I like my avatar.

What's a naked Fingerbob got to do with it?

So that's what your avatar's supposed to represent, Mince. I expect you'll have seen a lot of similar gestures.

Rob, I was speaking to Andrew today and we both came to the same conclusion. Neither of us has a favouite strip or series. Of course, we're both extremely old now and can't remember what we did yesterday so that doesn't help. However, we did agree that we still enjoy the strips where Dennis loses his temper----the moments when his frustration gets the better of him. They're fun to do.

I love looking at Diane's strips. There's a moment where you suddenly see the lasting style of the series starting to take shape. Around about page 32 when we first meet the Nomad.

I'll spend a few pleasant hours going through my archive and see what I can dig out. But Tarq's posts on the Andy Capp thread has made me feel a bit guilty - are you ok for me to scan some strips onto here Roger?

Totally agree Peepsy. Compared to those early strips, don't you think the Nomad has evolved into a right little short-arse?

Funnily enough, Roger hadn't intended the character to be a self-portrait when he devised him.

Scan away, Rob.
Nothing you say can hurt me, Peeps----Rangers have just scored an injury-time equaliser against United.

Belated Happy Birthday to Beau! Well done, Roger and Andrew. Don't like all this talk about how long ago that was. :(

I thought I could hear long-distance sobbing. What a bummer.

I love the third frame in this strip from book 1...

There's a a series from Book 1 that I really DON'T like. It's the one about Beau sitting by an oasis with his feet in the water. I remember, when I was writing it, thinking that a third foot appearing in the water would be funny. After that, I had no idea how to tie up the series and it doesn't half show. Like every cartoonist, I cringe at a lot of my stuff when I re-read it but that particular one comes under the "what was I thinking?" category.
