Title: Theme for Roger's Next Strip
Post by: The Peepmaster on January 16, 2010, 12:38:58 AM
Beau Peep - Foreign Legion
Horace - Wild West

Just wondering what would be a good theme for Roger's next strip.

I have some ideas, one of which I shared with Tarquin once, but they include Parliament, and a Boarding School. Basically, I think it has to be some kind of contained institution.

Parliament would be good...

a bucket of thumb tacks; sand fleas; digging a new toilet and a box of chocolate cherries

Couldn't resist.  ;)

A frightening location.

Ooooh (shivers) Our new friends always end up in one.

Erm, how about the 'Foreign West', or the 'Wild Legion'... ?

Everything happens nowadays, so why not?

I spotted the missing "e" and changed it before I saw your post, Tom.

Sorry, Peeps... I was either sleepwalking (sleeptyping?) or possessed by an evil entity last night.

I'm awake and fine now.

I think there should be a strip about a karaoke-singing Englishman who lives on a Scottish island...BUTE POP?

...except comedy has to be grounded in some kind of truth, however oblique.
No-one would buy the concept of an Englishman who leaves his comfortable existence in the midlands, relocating to a Scottish island he knows nothing about, and there meeting a dusky Filipina beauty who steals his heart.

I mean, the whole thing's ludicrous.

Especially if he starts a business selling holidays on the other side of the world, and has a name like Nigel...

No - it's too, too, surreal.

Maybe a cartoon based on life in a Superstore?

Anyone else like to see Roger do a strip in a supermarket like Tescos?

I have no desire to see Roger do a strip anywhere.

Besides which, I'm sure the folk at Tescos would escort him from the premises before he even got his shoes off.

They also would if he did this:

This letter was recently sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford :

Dear Mrs. M*****,

While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in B*** is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.

Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras:

1.   June 15:  Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking.
2.   July 2:  Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3.   July 7:  Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.
4.   July 19:  Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares.. and watched what happened.
5.   August 14:  Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
6.   September 15:  Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.
7.   September 23:  When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
8.   October 4:  Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.
9.   November 10:  While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.
10.   December 3:  Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.
11.   December 6:  In the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'Madonna look' using different size funnels.
12.   December 18:  Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled 'PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!'
13.   December 21:  When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.'
And; last, but not least:
14.   December 23:  Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in here.'

Well, he was down to his underpants the first time.

How about a strip about a Council Health and Safety person.  he could be all serious in implementing H&S in the most imaginative ways to ensure we don't hurt ourselves.  'Warning - this coffee may be hot' . Squirrel pie - warning - mat contain nuts.
