New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for September 04, 2010

Familiar face - can’t place it, but it reminds me of a photo of a crying Frenchman as the Nazis took over Paris. Don’t get the clockwork body either.

I can’t imagine QV being called a putain, even an Anglaise one.

I tell you she gets no respect!

Chrisnp, I think the body is a TikTok. I can’t ID the face, either–Maginot is my best guess. Dunno why he looks so unhappy, unless that paunch indicates a bad case of DeGaulle stones.

Ah, le retour bienvenu du Français de rouage d’horloge!

I believe this was a rejected storyboard for the Froggy Gone A Courtin’ music video as recorded by Johnny Hallyday & Sylvie Vartan.

@Chrisnp — I think I’ve seen the same picture, and have been searching LIFE magazine archives. So far, no luck.

@baslimthebeggar — (from, by the way, one of my favorite Heinlein novels). You nailed it!

I’m afraid it’s all “Greek” to me – I don’t know French, though I know what “putain” means.

Rather rude of him. But….

Oui, We Wii! Weeeee! (love it!)

Last sentence means, ” And so dies intellectual humor…” However, it’s “humour” and not “humeur”. “Humeur” means “mood”.

This is what my Scottish relatives would call “a wee joke”.

..Ha..great show,fellas…

It’s the clockwork deGaulle.

intellectual humor has to be alive before it dies

dmhulbert, and all us who never learned French for whatever unfortunate reason. Babelfish translates the Frenchman as saying: “English whore you play a video game”. then: “and l’ dies thus; intellectual mood”

not sure how correct Babelfish is, but there’s the gist. and damned clever I must say. Oui, we wii, Wheee!!! heeheehee

Weewee

Whee! Whee whee WHEE!

works for me pab.

Looks like Her Majesty has taken to shilling for Geico.

Final panel would be, “And thus dies intellectual humor.”
