Shobba cartoons

[TOG@Toil]

I was having a poke around for some old Shobba cartoons, when he drew those wonderful ones for Bike, and came across these, which I thought deserved another airing.

Fantastic.

Remember looking at that at yours- 25 years on the road or similar.

<glum> Suppose it isn't that long until you'll be holding the 50 years
on the road event...

Wonderful.

I've just thought of one that's missing - the cartoon of the guy who
designs the one-piece oversuits...

Saw that on Man Lab series 2 episode 3 just last night, where James May
goes to a Savile Row tailor to get a bespoke hand tailored boiler suit
made to measure.

"...And this is Bob, he designs our range of one-piece oversuits"

That one, and 13 others, were missing, for some Dropbox-related reason
that I can't really understand. But they should all be there now - 45
in total.

[The Older Gentleman]

Brilliant. I have been giggling.

[Ace]

Great stuff, ta.
