Doctor Tom Brent and His Flying Nurses 7 7

[Get Marwood & I]

Now, don't be put off by the 6p sticker on this comic (it's that red one again - see earlier thread posts) - it's definitely a printed pence copy. I know, I held it up to the light and everything. And anyway, you'd see the cents price if it was a cents copy. The sticker isn't big enough to cover it. Really.

Look, it's a pence copy alright! 

Meanwhile, there's nothing like that feeling you get when you get home after a long hard tour of duty to find your Dad trying to slip your missus one. She'll have to choose of course - Ginger Steve or the Silver Fox. Although Steve's Mum might have a take on proceedings. Can 'punishment for Wendy' be far off?* Well what do you expect from a girl who wears biscuits for earrings 

*If you understand that reference you're depraved.

Keep it up!

LI'L GENIUS!

 

No, it should be 'Little Genius', 'Little'. 'Li'l'? That's nonsense!

'Li'l! I ask you!

  !

"Sweet Jesus Nancy, Li'L Genius has broken the fourth wall!"

"Oh do be quiet Reginald. And please act your age and say 'little'. You're not a teenager you know"

 

"Don't look too excited Sparky. That's your Mum's leg. I buried her. Alive...."

"Arf!"

 

Haven't I seen this one somewhere before....

 

I knew he was a West Ham fan. 

 

"Oh, NOOO!!!!"

"Pink and yellow should never be seen with blue. How many times have I told you that Li'l Genius!"

 

"Yes. Go. Now."

 

"Li'L Genius is actually the Two-Gun Kid!"

And still no one knows his f****** name!

LI'L GENIUS!

 

Look I told you, it's 'Little Genius', 'Little!'

Afternoon 

We're up to 413 confirmed Charlton pence copies now boys and girls - nearly half of what may turn out to exist:

 

I've got 313 of them now. I know, I know. It keeps me occupied. I had some fun the other day printing labels for the red dividers I posted pictures of earlier in the thread. Dymo's come on a bit since I last used it. None of the old manual work with the raised white wording in thick black plastic. It's all sleek automation now:

 

Some of the titles are a bit long though. Gorgo and Konga are supportively short, but Cynthia Doyle, Nurse in Love is pushing it a bit.

Talking of our Cynthia, and her requirement to always be standing in a door way, it's always ice when you discover that your duplicate copies are different to the existing ones isn't it. Two examples here:

First up, Cynthia, with a big miscut at the top:

  

 

What a whopper! Give me a bad cut on my second copy any day of the week 

 

Next up, Space Adventures! One very grey, one very blue.

And just look at the pants on that guy. Is he rocking the purple and green or what? Or pink and green, in the other cover.

  

 

Me like! 

P.S. If you want to know whether the guy at the hospital is one of the robots you are convinced have taken over the world, look for the subtle giveaway of a massive rectangular grid on his forehead.  It's a sign. 

Well spotted with these. Not something I would have readily noticed.

Is the guy from the hospital one of the robots btw?

Thanks in advance.....

I don’t know Bob. Has he got a massive rectangular grid on his forehead?

Yeah, and it's kept the thread up the top.

Trouble is, my threads all have cloaking devices. You, Barry and Foggy are the only ones who seem to be able to break through!

It's tough being popular

CHEYENNE KID!

Phwooaar!

"White soldier medicine no....UNGH!"

"Go ahead Doc! You can treat him next"

What? Bad Medicine? Bad -script more like...

"Nice hat"

"Thanks, I got it in town last week. It matches the tunic perfectly doesn't it"

"I like the red bit at the front. Sets it right off"

"Thanks. I kind of like that bit myself too. Anyway, DIE!"

"Rat-ta-ta-tat! Rat-ta-ta-tat!"

Out of the trench into- oh, hang on. I've done one that already haven't I. Sorry.

Chatty bastards aren't they.

"I heard some....SIOUX!"

"Better call my solicitor Sue. She'll soon sue them Sioux."

(Sorry. It was either that or a Phil Collins "Sioux Sioux Sioudio" pun)

"Stone Deer?"

"No, I've only had the one. Honeshtly"

Multicultural horses.

"Now I've got ya Cheyenne!"

"Look out! He's alerting us to his presence prior to shooting to give us a chance to dodge the bullet! He must be stupid"

"Never mind all that Barry, look at the size of the Governor's trophy down there! It's this big and everything!"

"Ha! You have invalidated the treaty with your two red circles Cheyenne! Any fool worth his salt knows it's one red and one green!"

"Oh b********!"

"BLAM! BLAM! BWAM! BANG! POW! BLAM!

"Anyone get him?"

"No boss"

"k sake!"

"Scott Benson: The Iron Hand"

"Fifty pence a shirt, one pound fifty for trousers and two pounds for a coat. Extra if they're made of denim"

 

CHEYENNE KID!

Look at my big hairy chest!

I know! 

Dymo doesn't have apostrophes. Good job I haven't got OCD or it would be unbearable!

I suspected the thing had that capability (mine does, though it's a Brother brand).

I was also too lazy to investigate same.

I look forward to revised "Headers".

  BLACK FURY!  

 Neigh!

(translation: "I wouldn't exactly say furious, that's a bit of an overstatement. But I am quite annoyed you know")

 

"Is this the end of Black Fury?"

"Neigh!"

 

"A boy...a horse...and tragedy...This story will clutch at your heart....the right way"

"Neigh!"

(translation: "Never mind all that, this cover is miscut!")

 

"You sole my mare...you stampeded our horses...you ruined me...but now I'm going to get even!"

"Neigh!"

(translation: "Yeah, alright mate. Chill out")

 

"That black devil won't get away from me again! I'll give him the lead cure"

"Neigh!"

(translation: "Get f***** mate")

 

  BLACK FURY!

This is nice isn't it. Deceptively simple cover. Nice colouring. Looks just great. It arrived this morning and takes my personal tally up to 333 pence copies now. And 4 US price variants. Only 500 or so to go. What else can we do on a Monday 

[Get Marwood & I]

 BATTLEFIELD ACTION! 

 

"BLAM! BAM! QUITE ODD HANDS!"

 

Big War, surely? 

 

"RATATATAT! RATATATAT!"

Out of the trench into combat. Again.

"Look! It's the flaming Yalu!"

"Oh yeah. I'd forgotten about him."

"Stay on target....stay on target!"

 

"I'll teach you respect for the Reds! Barry - get this City fan outta here!"

 

Nazi bracelets. Only fifteen dollars including postage and packing.

 

"Now they've got me good! Or have they? That light sure is bright. But they've missed me by a mile...."

 

"Hmmm. So that's the Colonel's secret recipe. Who'd have thought a little pinch of - hey!"

"Now that you've read what's in my book, fool, you must die!"

 

We owe people like these a great debt of gratitude don't we. Without them, some of us may not even be here to enjoy the safety and feedoms we so readily take for granted. God bless those that give their lives to keep us safe.

 

 BATTLEFIELD ACTION!

So, I've been away for six months (It feels like years) doing intensive lurid research on the hollywood movie offered up as a CB De Mill production  "Off on a Comet" the cult classic. I offer up my intensive research here to you all with a bit of a spolier alert. The movie was sadly never made but they did do a trailer. To confuse things a bit more, meeting the stars would have been challenging since it was to be animated. Perhaps Gorgo had a walk on role and ate several of his admirers explaining why the publicity seems to have been a bit muted. 

Sadly, I've found no evidence of any living members of the Treasure toy club or of the winner of the swimming pool.  Concerned readers who have had their drivers licenses revoked and have time on their hands are welcome to pursue those aspects of the genre.   Here's that link.

All hail the return of The Glassman!  

May his visit be long and enduring! May his commentary be wild and fanciful! Yet unerringly accurate. May his fork lift drivers licence be returned, duly embossed, forthwith! May Gorgo baulk at the taste of his posts, and leave them be in honour - with a u - of posterity and the future reading pleasure of three men and a canine like Sparkenwood!

Praise him!
