Beau Peep British Comic Strip. Original Artist Template, Signed and Dated. Condition is New. Beau Peep was a popular British comic strip written by Fife based writer Roger Kettle and illustrated by Andrew Christine. The strip features the misadventures of the eponymous lead character, Beau Peep, an inept and cowardly British man who joins the tough and hardy French Foreign Legion in the deserts of North Africa to escape his terrifying wife Doris back home. There are also numerous surreal supporting characters such as the Nomad, Big Egon (the revolting chef) and Beau’s side kick Denis.

Beau Peep was published in the Daily star since the 1980’s and Sunday Mail and Sunday Express.
There are relatively few of these original drawings, as the newspaper industry moved to a reduced sized frame for ease of scanning and emailing artwork.
Andrew is now retired and lives in Kettlebridge, Fife. He also drew A man called Horace in the Daily mirror for years, which has its own Facebook page.
We hope you enjoy this artwork as much as Kettle and Christine enjoyed creating it.
