FOOLING OVER

Yes, it's gone midday, and (to quote Master Nigel Molesworth) "as any fule kno" April Fool's Day fooling is now officially OVER!

And - in case you wondered from my earlier post - here's how things ended up at St Trinian's later that day...

Midday: "She who laughs last, Dobson,
would appear to laugh louder than anyone else!"

SKULE FOR FULES

Being still very much in Ronald-Searle-appreciation-mode on account of the fact that I'm currently preparing my talk for The Cartoon Museum on Searle as an illustrator (Wednesday 28 April at 6:30, see side-bar, right for details, come if you can), I decided to turn to Mr S for an appropriate posting for today which is, of course---

April 1st

ALL FOOLS DAY!

Here's how they marked this day in that noble establishment for the education of the fairer sex, St Trinian's...

"Bless my soul! Prunella!"



"I'll give her practical science."



"Yah! April Fo-ol!"

"Come in, Miss Tonks, I'm reading."
