Happy 60th Birthday Roger!

[Roger Kettle]

At sixty, I am now too old to wear t-shirts. Perhaps I'll have it printed on my bib.
Regarding my home adress, Mincey, I'm pretty sure you have it already. I'm hurt that you forgot.

I'm older than you and I still wear t-shirts!

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Yeah, and when I'm as old as you, Roger, in about twenty years, I fully intend to still be wearing t-shirts, probably with cartoons on them, if I'm still able to draw.

[Rob Baker]

Many Happy Returns, Roger - glad you had a great holiday. Was it San Raphael ? 
Brilliant caricature Tarqs!

I don't think Roger was making a fashion/ageism statement - I think he just isn't young enough to get his arms in a T-shirt anymore - 40 years in the cartooning sweatshop will make your muscles atrophy.
I think a bib will look smashing Roger!

There you have it, Vult - if you can still get into your t-shirts, you've obviously not worked hard enough over the years. Says Diane.

[Vulture]

Nah, I just get bigger t-shirts when necessary.

[Malc]

Welcome back, Roger, and Tarks that is a great bit of work.

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Cheers, Malc (and Rob!). I won't pretend it was easy, but I managed to offload the rejects at a live caricature gig the other day.

Mince, not only do I have Roger's address, but I also have his post code logged into my satnav, along with the 4-digit code for the security barrier.

What about the drawbridge?

[Joan]

Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you, Roger! Glad to hear you had a fab holiday with lots of hot days. We're enduring the winter cold down here in Sydney - about the same temps as Edinburgh right now.

I can't produce as good a drawing as TT, but I can make some little images appear ...

I think he decided against a drawbridge when he realised how easy they were to rub out!

Not once he's inked it in.

Ah, Clare Grogan - the real babe in Gregory's Girl!


Happy birthday, old fruit!...

Tarks popped in to see me yesterday with this wonderful caricature all framed up for me. We had a coffee and a chinwag. Changed days. When Tarks and I originally knew each other, 30 odd years ago, we got together for umpteen pints and a chinwag. It was good to see the old bugger.
