Beau Peep is a British comic strip written by Roger Kettle, drawn by Andrew Christie and published in the Daily Star from 1978 to 1997 and again from 1999 to 2016 when it was dropped by the newspaper for financial reasons. It is about Beau Peep, who joined the French Foreign Legion to escape from his terrifying fiancée Doris, and quickly discovered that not only is he totally unsuited for the Legion of Lost Souls, he was the Only Sane Man in a fort full of lunatics.These lunatics include the Ax-Crazy Mad Pierre, the Cloud Cuckoolander Colonel Escargot, who believes the Swiss are invading and had his psychiatrist shot, and Peep's best friend Dennis Pratt, a Manchild who believes everything he's told. Sergeant Bidet is relatively sane, but despises Peep for being an incompetent coward, and deliberately sends him on suicide missions. There is also Lethal Chef Egon, who combines appalling hygiene with an inability to make anything that isn't mince.Minor Legionnaires include Hamish, who is a Scottish stereotype, but beyond that is quite reasonable and the only character Peep feels he can actually have a sensible conversation with (even if he can't always understand it), and Sergeant Slaughter (not that one), a terrifying Drill Sergeant Nasty.Characters from outside the fort include the Nomad, an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain who wants to bring the head of a Legionnaire back to his village so they'll forgive his crimes, Honest Adbul, an Honest John who sells junk to gullible fools like Dennis and the Nomad, and Vera of the Seven Veils, an exotic Belly Dancer Dennis has a crush on, who frequently punches him in the mouth.You can read a selection of strips that change weekly here. The same writer/artist combo also created A Man Called Horace, which ran for 26 years in the Daily Mirror (1989-2015).Contains examples of: | |
