I reckon anyone who has had anything to do with farmers, particularly sheep farmers, and their dogs would consider Footrot Flats a documentary series.

and anything by Robert Crumb...

Robert Crumb

R. Crumb is a good musician too...
Why the lover of Bean shaped ladies?

Well here is the man on his own idealised cartoon version of the female form.

Suffice it to say he was denounced by feminists for being a pornographer, an artist who objectified the female form, and, perhaps, even a misogynist!



Crumb and women...

My Crumb interlude has led me into turbid waters here, so I felt it best to publicly explain "The lover of Bean Shaped Ladies" title to the post.

Ta, TGA. Pilot Officer Prune and the Order of the Digit
A pleasure and thanks for the introduction to Pilot Officer Prune who I had not been acquainted with.

I assume that there was not meant to be an intentional connection between PPRuNe and Pilot Officer Prune who seems far too nice a chap for that place! =))

Does anybody remember Charley's War?

Never saw that out here in Oz TGA but I can remember reading about Robert "Battler' Britton who seemed to hold the rank of Wing Commander throughout the entire WWII!

Or the tough GI, Sergeant Joe Ironsides.

Surprisingly, the Battle, War and Commando Comics are still available here in Aussie. Or were, not all that long ago.

Ah I remember Robert "Battler" Britton very well indeed! :-bd

I really loved those Commando comics where Germans died with sundry Aargh's, Himmel's etc. There was a Saffer version called Stroppie Sargeant, about a Saffer Sargeant in North Africa in WW2 but I can't find any examples of the comic on the web. He was probably too politically incorrect. =))

I do like ops-normal's own cartoon motif.

Can’t find many many examples of figment online, but I’ve got a few examples :D

That was provided by Ron G, a very good friend and ex-RN helicopter Observer who lives in Perth, WA. Renowned in the Fleet Air Arm he could make helicopters come to life in his cartoons. Sadly he's not in very good health nowadays. Here's one of his cartoons with a poem about the days of the anti-submarine Whirlwind helicopter of the late 50's and early 60's and the way it would happily throw itself under the waves.....(the reference to balls is to the small Type 194 sonar ball) Click for slightly larger view.

The Giles cartoons in the Daily Express a long time ago. Not necessarily for the main theme but for all the "stuff" going on in the background. Pieter Breughel's paintings have the same qualities, especially the Winter Landscapes ones.
