It’s the end of this storyline today. Hope everyone enjoyed reading it. Grace and Wendy are due to have some more laughs with their new found talent soon, but for now expect to see a short break and a few of the other characters popping their heads in for a look first.
And yes, it’s a return to one of the first punchlines of the story arc… we like repeating jokes, but you know this by now!
Mr V:
Nothing to do with the strip except in a roundabout way, but I encountered a version of the song “I am Australian,” done by The Seekers and I have to tell you that even though I’m not an Aussie, I could hear the pride and power in that song. It was quite moving! Cheers!
That’s the original, or at least, the Seekers wrote it and first performed it (I think around 93?), but who knows what live version you may have heard. And yeah, it’s a good little song. A great little history lesson hidden in there too. :D
Now you need to find Peter Allen’s ‘I Still Call Australia Home’.
I was going to leave a comment about how you just couldn’t resist getting the nose-picker in there. Then I read the comments and you’re talking about Peter Allen. I loved him back in the day. Now you’ve got me all waxing nostalgic and completely forgetting the nose-picking. Well, okay, almost forgetting the nosepicker… that little touch made me giggle.
There’s always a nosepicker. :)
And yes, I have a soft spot for Peter Allen’s work too, beyond ‘I Still Call Australia Home’, which is pretty well an anthem. ‘Tenterfield Saddler’ is my absolute favourite of his, but his quiet cabaret style makes for a nice change of pace listening in the car. :)
Talekyn and The Doctor, still brought to you here by the old days at Comic Fencing :)
Good to see you’re still around, Tal!
Whoops, meant to do that here!
“Ditto, Doc! Hope all is well!”
Ditto, Doc! Hope all is well!
You just wanted to up your post count… :P
