Started watching Sky’s War Game last night where Michael Gove is the PM during the Russian attack and I’m afraid it is just very difficult to watch it without thinking of this, one of the great cartoons ever published

Whilst having a bit of a clean around our room, I found an old, old bookmark from the late 80s. My favourite second-hand bookshop in Torquay used to give them away with purchases. I had a *lot* of these bookmarks in my teens. I used to doodle or write things to remember on them.

A card bookmark with "The Book Barn" printed on it.

A teenage doodle of a generic classic Ferrari-type car on a bookmark.

Oh God yes you grab whatever you can. I grabbed an old washing up bowl to put in my drunk 16-year-old's room the other night, but have been doing that sort of thing for 20 years. "Daddy I feel sick" gets me doing a Linford Christie to the kitchen.

(Had a few requests for prints of this one so I now have a limited edition print of it available in my shop. Link in my bio.) #comic #cartoon #comedy #sketch #language

Print of a comic strip by Stephen Collins. Script is as follows:

1
[Scene is a GREGGS interior. A lone MAN, the only customer in the shop, is standing at counter]

MAN:
Please can I have a sausage roll.

2
GREGGS SHOP ASSISTANT:
Certainly sir

[She pulls a leaver on the panini machine and WOOSH the man disappears through a trapdoor].

Whoosh

3
[The MAN appears through a chute in an underground bunker. A voice from off-scene greets him]:

Welcome, friend

4
[We see the voice is of a military-looking resistance COMMANDER with a moustache]

COMMANDER:
You said "please can I have" instead of “can I get”…

So now you're one of us.

5
MAN:
W-where am I ...?

[We see him looking at a hi tech UNDERGROUND MILITARY BUNKER - it has resistance vibes, and has lots of screens with maps etc]

6
COMMANDER:
You've joined the resistance…

...against people saying things all American.

7
COMMANDER:
We are an underground network of sleeper agents poised to have a right go at young people the moment they say "mom" or "bangs”.

8
LIEUTENANT [Staring at screen]:
Agent 244 has just given a Zoomer in Halifax the “could/couldn't care less" speech, sir

COMMANDER:
Very good

9
[Show the map of the UK with digital pop ups on it saying ‘GOTTEN’, ‘ZEE’, ‘MATH’ etc

COMMANDER:
You may have heard our name... We are...

10
COMMANDER:
...the Fight Against New Yankee Pronunciations and Americanisms Corrupting the King's English!

11
[Show the military command center panel. It says on the wall in big metal letters]:

F.A.N.Y.P.A.C.K.E.

12
MAN
You've called yourselves the 'Fanny Pack'

COMMANDER:
We didn't spot the acronym

Mid-80s Computer Studies O-level. The highlights were using the BBC micros with 5 1/4 " disks to play "Eliza" and things like that. I wrote a BASIC (very basic) Missile Command type game on my Electron for the project. We were still learning about ferrite core stores and paper tape too.

Looking at a piece of ancient, ancient coral in a chunk of Devonian Limestone, which is itself embedded in a bigger chunk of red breccia that was washed down a slightly less ancient desert wadi in the Permian, now part of a stone wall in Paignton, you appreciate the passing of time in big way. Im
