In another topic, Roger said that, given the first frame of a strip, he could remember the punchline.

Roger, here's the first one:

At school.





I've picked this up wrong, haven't I?

I apologise, in advance.

I said that I could look at the first frame of a strip I'd written 25 years ago and tell you the punchline. That's not the strip I was talking about.

The first one is about Dennis's brother turning up. I can't be bothered thinking about the rest-----it's like being given homework!

No, I don't know any of them without going and looking through the books.

Ah, but you didn't make that wild claim that Roger did.

Without looking anything up, the Doris one is something like "It would take her ages to gnaw through here".
The Nomad one might  involve Mad Pierre appearing. "Haven't you got anything bigger?"
The others, I might need a bit longer.

Roger, 1 out of 10 is a respectable score.

That's right Roger - 1/10 is a damn sight more than any of the rest of us are aiming for.

What did he win this time?
