Title: Remember, it's ALWAYS Andrew's fault.
Post by: Roger Kettle on August 03, 2009, 06:34:08 PM: In the first frame of today's strip in The Daily Star, Egon is cheerfully saying to Beau "Congratulations me!" I would like to point out that, in my original script, I used the more familiar "congratulate me". Maybe, as Andrew was lettering the strip, Cliff Richard was belting out his famous ditty on the radio and he got distracted.
Anyway, it's all Andrew's fault.

I like that.

Post by: Rob Baker on September 04, 2009, 03:52:14 PM: For the benefit of those who don't buy the Star, and also to embarrass Andrew, here's the strip...

And did Andrew miss out the word 'Sioux' in the first frame of today's Horace? Apologies, Roger, if not!

Post by: Roger Kettle on September 04, 2009, 04:10:14 PM: Yep! And I've already told the big idiot. He claimed something called "word blindness". Idiot.

Post by: Mince on September 04, 2009, 05:00:31 PM: Come on, Roger! Give the guy some slack. There's a whole 25 words there to check.

Post by: Tom on September 04, 2009, 07:46:33 PM: :) I read today's Horace and thought something didn't seem right, but could'nt say what! Now I see it! :)

And the Beau Peep strip reads correct if there was a comma after 'congratulations' and an exclamation mark after 'me'. I very often say "Congratulations, me!" (usually followed by a "Yay!") when I do something well!

Post by: Roger Kettle on September 04, 2009, 09:17:56 PM: You're right, Tom---the mistake in the Beau strip was something we could just about get away with---the mistake in Horace today makes a huge difference to the whole gag. Andrew was REALLY apologetic when I spoke to him.

What did he say? "Hey, live with it!"?

Well, he meant to, but it came out as "Hey, liverpool with it!".

The second one made me laugh.

I vote for the first. I love the "silent" middle box where there's no speech. They always seem to be the funniest strips. ;D ;D

Post by: Jack on June 07, 2013, 12:49:02 AM: Well, if we're picking favourites, mine is the penultimate one. I always enjoy the shift from weariness to sarcasm to simple blunt insult.

Post by: Rob Baker on June 14, 2014, 01:59:41 AM: I wonder if Andrew had a dodgy Channel 5 programme on in the background when he was lettering one of the words in frame 2 of today's strip ;D :

Pedantry aside, I just love Dennis's dopey expression.

And for just for Sandy ('cos Granny's in it), today's cracking Horace strip:

PS. Is it wrong to fancy Granny? :-[

Depends. If you mean Horace's, then yes. If you mean your own, get a grip!
