Egon's eye
« on: November 18, 2009, 04:30:20 PM »
With all the emphasis on the Christmas cooking strips featuring Egon – it just occurred to me that perhaps Roger knows how Egon lost his eye?

My guess is that it's just a comic strip and the eye patch is simply a comedic prop to highlight the ineptitude of a fictitious chef, Diane, but hey, let's all wait with bated breath all the same.

How's the foot?

I call for Tarqs remarks (the whole reply) to be struck from the record: “just a comic strip” indeed!

I hope that Egon isn't sober enough to be reading this.  >:(

That's just the way I doodled Egon when he first appeared. Rob Baker may correct me, but I'm pretty sure there has never been an explanation for the missing eye.
On a similar note, it's only a few years since I discovered that Popeye has only one eye----although, granted, there's a bit of a clue in the name.

I'd be interested to find out how Custer got a camel's rectum for an eye.

Sarky Tarky can now de-bate his breath 'cos I can find no explanation to how Egon lost his eye. I think the only reference to it was made in this series from 1985:




Trivia Time.  Egon's first ever appearance was in a 6-strip series, with Beau, in 1979, when he spoke only one word.  Your starter for ten is:   What was that word?
Keep it clean...

Sadly, I've just looked it up. I won't tell, though.

That's not Custer. It's Charles de Rudio. You're such an idiot, Peeps.
