Taking the proverbial or what ?

Aww it brings back memories for me in the 80s, reading the Eagle and Roy of the Rovers comics (and I think they both merged together eventually). 🤗

VIZ for me gents, a lighter look at a comedic life. The dogs *******s and Black bag (probably racist) nowadays.
Im off to check it exists and the content is still a bit edgy.

Yeah the Viz thing ehh lol, with my favourite character Roger Mellie, the man on telly!.
Hello... good evening... And bollo*ks!. 😁

I loved the advert for the CLAG-GONE machine in VIZ, 'for when wiping simply isn't enough'.
It was like an upturned bicycle where you sat on the back wheel, which had 'Carbon Fibre bristles providing over 1,000 hours of clag removal' and you could 'pedal away those Tag Nut blues'.
It was claimed to be 'a unique breakthrough in ringpiece technology'. There was an arrow pointing to the gears on the handlebars, '3 Speed Cling-On removal at the flick of a switch'.
The wheel picked up 'industrial strength detergent to ensure complete Winnit riddance', it 'eradicates cleft discomfort and leaves your gusset lemon fresh'.
For 'ONLY ?299.99' it got rid of 'WINNITS, CLING-ONS, TAG-NUTS and DANGLEBERRIES', and you could order it from CLAG-AWAY LTD, BOX 1, PONTEFRACT.

It really was a work of comic genius.
