ooo zappa rules!!

yesssss i'm sure he rules whereever he is now

Frank Zappa was fun to have around, though certain judges didn't appreciate that.

judges aren't supposed to appreciate

and i'm sure at least one or two of them liked zappa's w*rk

say what you will, his music was - well - demanding, but you couldn't question his skills as a composer and guitar player

You have old schools in America Mine was established in 1567.

Andy Capp was my dads favourite cartoon in the mirror, him and flo eh, was her name flo, I can't remember.

Anyway, probably done by the same chap, but Andy was a northener and very working class string vest and perpetual cap type.

oh maaaaaan... sorry its AL Capp!!!

but i do know Andy Capp and maybe thats why...

sorry

hehehe, i was wondering too, but don't worry, the misunderstading is understandable

and al capps real name was Alfred Gerald Caplin after all

That's alright, I didn't know Al Capp, I knew Sid Pearson though, famous for his work on many well known films. He used to show me all his artwork and photo's. How much would the entire original script with all art and photo's fetch for say 'Mutiny on the Bounty.'

wow wowsers wowowowow

so okay... the real Dennis the Menace and i were childhood playmates.... his dad knew my dad... and one of his cartoons was something i did

you wre the little feeble kid with the glasses?

I used to read Dennis the Menace in the beano, was my favourite.

er, fluffy, you were not the annoying freckled girl with long curls and glasses, were you?

She wasn't bad, she was just drawn that way. Let's face it, Dennis didn't bring out the best in *anyone*.

when i was about 5 or 6... and my mom had stayed up all night wrapping the christmas presents that we thought santa brought... i sat amidst the wrappings and empty boxes and gifts and... there being so much STUFF cluttering up the floor... and being a conscientious child who cleaned her plate and therefore had in mind to make sure all the presents were opened... said "is this all?" meaning is there anymore we need to deal with??

that became a one panel (square) cartoon of dennis sitting amongst said wrappings and gifts... it was actually too bad that no one understood what i meant...

my mom hit the roof and told me there was no santa claus

aww, you poor thing

i know exactly how you feel

us pirates get that a lot when pillaging a ship or a port

Santa Claus has issued an emphatic denial of his nonexistence.

i see. and now you want us to take your word for it?

'ning everybody. Pours himself a capp
so when was the last time we visited Santa's workshop

oh dear, don't expect me to remember that. i can hardly remember what i had for dinner

er - did i have dinner at all

i'd better eat something
