On the same kind of theme - did Rog and Andrew ever do "NSFW" Beau Peep strips? I remember being a wee tike growing up in Dundee and seeing the word
"Hell" in one of their strips (Egon's "Mince Suprise") and being unable to read it out loud because "hell" was swearing back then. Just wondered if there was ever any temptation to release a Beau Peep version like the viking ones that used to appear in Foreigners in dundee (were those by Roger and Andrew?)

Welcome, Malc!
Yes, Andrew and I did those "questionable" cartoons that hung on the wall of Foreigners bar. We were bad boys back then. I can't say I've ever thought of doing anything similar with Beau Peep although, when it first appeared, it was regarded as quite "edgy" for a newspaper strip. I've never understood that----it always seemed quite tame to me but, as you say, even using the word "hell" would upset some people in those days.
Right, I'm off to look up NSFW!
