re: #182 Escaped Hillbilly

Some comic whose name I can’t remember.

I remember waaay back when I was a l’il bongster I laughed myself silly over an “Andy Capp” comic that featured “the boy stood on the burning deck” as a punchline.

Andy was in his fallback position on the couch, and Flo was grousing about something, maybe how they needed money for the rent, and soon.

Andy asked “What would you have me do?”

Flo replied, “Act, mate, act!”

So Andy stood up on the couch and blurted out…

The fact that I remember this comic strip some thirty years down the road is more than a little disturbing. :-)
