My pirate strip was set somewhere between the 13th and 17th centuries, which was a pretty big window, but still didn't allow me to use modern references, which was limiting.

Therefore no matter how general the timescale, if you are doing a "historical" strip, you are always at a disadvantage. Making Beau Peep somewhat part of the "modern" era should be liberating, but I wonder how many BP strips actually feature Game Boys, Big Brother, MP3 players, Playstation 3 or glow-in-the-dark condoms?

I do remember seeing a computer in a strip once. Rob will remember...
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Was that the one where Dennis bought the 'Etch-a-Sketch' from Honest Abdul, along with the 'luminous balloons'?

I also recall the one where Dennis bought a TARDIS from Honest Abdul, and totally screwed with the Space-Time Continuum. I thought that was just Roger jumping on the Doctor Who bandwagon.

You and your Doctor Bloody Who. I never liked it when I was ten and I don't like it now. Although I did go through a long, multi-coloured scarf phase. (The scarf was long---not the phase).

So it wasn't a TARDIS then?

I'm sure it had a blue flashing light on it. Are you sure you haven't done an Honest Abdul episode where he sells Dennis (or the Nomad) a TARDIS? I think there was a Dalek involved as well.

I know I'm going to regret this but why is "TARDIS" capitalised?

As well as being a fabby-dabby space/flying/time machine, it's also an acronym, Roger. And a police box.
I apologise, in advance.

Here you are. Notice that Honest Abdul is holding the remains of four destroyed Daleks.



That must explain why the Nomad is successful in climbing the wall with them. Mystery solved!
