Remember, it's ALWAYS Andrew's fault.
« 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.

Maybe if Andrew didn?t have to curtsy at you the time dear Sun King, he could see what he was doing and not make so many cock ups.  I beg for leniency on his behalf.

I'd get my own back and ruin one of his cartoons.

It's been argued that I do that daily with my writing.

That's what I was going to say. Only snappier.

Get your own back by having the Tour de France come through the fort. Have a whole week's worth of strips on the theme, with loads of bikes in each frame.

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!

Yep! And I've already told the big idiot. He claimed something called "word blindness". Idiot.

Come on, Roger! Give the guy some slack. There's a whole 25 words there to check.

 :) 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!

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!".
