Roger, which strip do you find hardest to write for? Beau Peep or Andy Capp?

Not at all. I'm just curious.

Andy Capp. Beau is my own creation so it comes more naturally to me. Also, I write weekly themes for Beau (and Horace) and I find it's easier to come up with gags when there's a bit of continuity. I've had to alter my style quite a bit with Andy Capp and the gags are all "one-offs". I write, say, a strip where Andy's in the pub and then I have to start from scratch again with a different setting. It's MUCH harder.

I've already used the idea you suggested (slightly adapted). I'll email my rough to you.
