Abdul: You'll really like this video. It's packed full of naked ladies.

Beau: Can I get it out for one night only?

Abdul: I'm not one to advise on personal matters.

Abdul: So much depends on your self-control...

The winner gets original strip artwork by Mince. Second place gets a week's worth.

Hey, Mince, don't pass the buck to me! You set the competition and offered the prize----you decide the winner!

Beau Peep Book 12. Yours for a tenner.

I must admit I'm tempted.

For an extra fiver I can get it signed ...

By Shuggie and Duggie.


Number of balloons - correct.
Humour - questionable.
Incestuous element - marginally admirable.

No, they're only cartoon characters, and not real people.

If they do, I'm sure they won't mind. Our connection with the guys goes back over 20 years when Andrew and I came up with the strip. It was originally called "The Border" and featured the two main characters, Shuggie and Duggie. For several reasons, Andrew and I decided not to go ahead with it and passed the idea on to the guys who took it in a different direction. (For example, we had set it in the sheep-stealing 18th century-----they moved it to the present time while, with more than a touch of the surreal, retained the 18th century clothing and housing.) I DO have a tiny problem with some of the material. They have a tendency to, rather than come up with fresh ideas, simply illustrate old, established jokes. (Shuggie and Duggie sitting on a plane. "Those people down there look like ants". "They are ants---we  haven't taken off yet".) But that's a personal bugbear of mine and certainly doesn't mean I'm right. Shuggie and Duggie is popular and has been running a long time. That, in itself, is a great achievement in a very competitive market.
