    Oh YES! I’ve been in a positive tizzy of anticipation, since “our dear Alan” made his munificent heartfelt apology.
    What would Firstdog say I wondered.
    Now we know……*Hugs.

    This cartoon is baggist. Some of my best friends are chaff bags, and they would never behave like that.

    In fact a lovely bag full of lucerne chaff is sitting on my back veranda – not a metaphor – as we speak.

    Cartoon excellence, Firsty. My only gripe is that you’ve used a couple of his more flattering photos.

    AJ generously re-donated the chaff bag jacket for which he made top bid at the auction. One guesses he has no use for a garment which isn’t bespoke.

    The moral of the story: beware of rollicking Young Libs.

    Oh yes FD, extra points for the use of “prolix” in today’s toon.
    (I had to look it up.)

    Quite so, Holden Back.
    Being raised by chaff bags does not necessarily lead to one becoming a narcissistic, sociopathic douchebag.

    “prolix” is good – the kind of word AJ would have learned at the private grammar school to which those Struggletown chaffbags (of cash?) sent the impressionable young Alan, before he toddled off to Oxford. Such a tough life …

    It is justifiable to wonder just how proud his parents would have seem of him?
    Did they die of shock when he was voted university home coming queen?
    How did they handle the boy in the english toilet bobby thing? And as far as telling lies are concerned; has he ever told them the truth? He cant handle it himself.

    So difficult to think of a comment about that pompous, poisonous dung beetle that wouldn’t be (quite rightly) moderated. So… that’s all

    Looks like my previous comment didn’t make it past the moderator. Not surprised by that.

    Hope it brought a smile to FDOTM’s face though.
