Happy Birthday Beau !

[Rob Baker]

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!

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.

[Rob Baker]

.. 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.
