PC old cartoons..reprint or copy

#1 Post by soupdragon44 »

hi gang, i am after an old cartoon from an issue many years ago..... if i describe it perhaps someone can scan me a copy from an old edition or tell me wher i can get 2 x copys of this...

carrtoon is of a man at a parts counter asking the assistant for some chrome sunvisor retaining screws for a 1954 HardlyWorthIt 2 stroke shootingbrake, to which the sales man replys "yes mate" we've just had 3 lorry loads delivered this morning..

My mate and i still laugh about this today and would love a copy to frame.

Cheers

:o I remember exactly the thumbnail to which you refer! But 30+ years worth of back issues to trawl through is quite a stretch so someone else may offer theirs up before I've done searching.

How I remember such a thing?

Well, several students have been sent from work over the road to the big Halfords with a LEA order number slip for these very fasteners. :oops: Give them their due though but; one enterprising young lass did bring back a pint of pigeon milk instead. :lol:

very funny, am sure it was within nthe first couple of years.... i would start from the begining and go forward......

a mate did say that the cartoonist did have a book out with all the PC ones in it that he did but i don't know the artist and only want this one so i can frame it.......

i manage a tyre centre for a mate and some of the stupid thigs we get asked you can't imagine......

thanks for your efforts....

I still have fond memories of Brian Fade and the staff of Mayhem Garage.

I always thought PC made a mistake swapping them for Barry Cade.

Hi all, the cartoon in question appeared in the August 1982 issue p.25, in the "Going Spare" section.

Sorry I can't scan at present, due to an ongoing dispute with the equipment, so hope someone else can now they know where it is.

Perhaps a pull out in an issue of all the best ones?

I'll scan that once I'm home, unless some kindly soul beats me to it of course. :D

I think you'll find that Mayhem Garage is now situated at the PC workshop :lol:

Do you remember the sign at the Unipart Parts counter? 'The answer is Yes, now what's the question'.
