RIPs

There was an episode from the late seventies in which a uniform budget was approved for Class 2B because they were looking so scruffy. The next day the kids came goose-stepping into school wearing impeccable Wehrmacht uniforms.
It was all bonkers and I loved it.
Thank you, Mr Sutherland, and rest in peace.

I really, really wish I could have read that.

I couldn't date it exactly, but it was reprinted in the 1980 annual.
Forty-odd years and I remember it clear as day. (Smiffy, the thick one, was the odd man out in Imperial Japanese kit.)

Nice!  Danny's skull-adorned black garb was pointing in that direction anyway.

God bless the internet!

You're a fecking legend, JWare.

Well that's just horrible news. Recently started a Bosch rewatch. Fuck you cancer.

I was introduced to Laverne And Shirley during the 80s TVAM strike so I would end up skipping to school (when no one was watching 😳) 😂😂😂😂

Paco Rabanne, 88, fashion designer.

No disrespect to the memory of Paco Rabanne, but I would be genuinely surprised if he touched the lives of anyone on this forum. I like to think that I am more stylish than the average middle-aged comics fan, but matching socks would often be the limit of my sartorial sophistication.
