Fred the Clown: The Last Goon Show of All
This strip was done as a response to the death of Harry Secombe, the last surviving member of the Goons, the 1950s comedy troupe who profoundly affected the way I see the world*. Being a rabid E. C. Segar nut, I couldn't resist a nod to the original Goons as well.

Well said, good steaming sir. Well said.
ReplyDeletewell done. 100 years from now, Spike and his boys will still be the best comedy put to ear. (And, for the most part, eye as well.)
