The name "Beau Peep".
« on: January 05, 2009, 10:15:34 PM »
Back in 1975, when I was a child, I came up with Beau Peep. To be honest, I never gave the title of the strip much thought. It was about the Foreign Legion...Beau Geste sprang to mind..."Beau Peep" seemed an easy step to make. It was really just a working title that sort of stuck. Thirty odd years on, given the way the strip has developed, what would you call it now? (Suggestions like "crap" will be ignored).

"John Postlethwaite" has a certain ring to it, but it may not be right for such a strip.

Well, you've created loads of strips between you, Heaps o' Peep would seem apt. Perhaps a modern vernacular could be used.

Yo, Beau, tell that dude Kettle
To put the pedal to the metal
And git us mo' Beau.

I've been sitting here looking at the screen for about five minutes now, got nothing. Can I be dismissed?
