Kids

[Mince]

Roger, what was it like for your kids to have a father who wrote comic strips? When asked by the teacher to write what their father did for a living, did they lie? Were they bullied at school for having a famous father?

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

While we wait for Roger to stir, my own experience was that my daughters would often ask me to draw quick sketches for their pals at school. I was always happy to oblige, pleased at the thought of the extra kudos these offerings might gain them. It was years later that I found out they were selling them. That's my girls!

My own father was a child psychologist. I told my mates he was a policeman.

[Roger Kettle]

Well, firstly, I'm not famous. I've never been on T.V. and that's what constitutes fame these days. I'm certainly glad that I'm not famous----I've been in the company of people who are and it looks hard going to me. I must admit they handle it well but I wouldn't like to spend my life being constantly approached by strangers.
My kids have never bothered with what I do and certainly have never had problems because of it.

I'm going to suggest you to the "I'm a Celebrity, Let Me Out of Here" team. They always have mildly famous people on that. I'm sure you'd enjoy it, Roger.

Oh, Lord, I can think of nothing worse. Oh, hang on. "Big Brother"----I can barely type those words without punching my computer screen.

You mean the monitor?

I thought you were the monitor on this board.

I told you I would be WATCHING

I would think it would be pretty amazing to have Roger Kettle for your father. Just think of the funny notes he could send in to the teachers for you.
