I'm not entirely sure about Nancy. Maybe a joke about it being blown up by sewer gas/someone down in the sewer? :shrug:

BB I'm pretty sure is just a 'they thought they'd be getting off easy while Sarge was at training, but instead they get a substitute sergeant who's a giant presumably-nasty caveman!' joke.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

He’s got more rank than their sarge and service strips showing he’s very very senior.

It's worth noting that "Kivikasvot" (literally Stone Faces) was a singer group who also got a really awful variety show back in the 60s or 70s or something, and that poo poo was broadcast and rerun every week for a couple of decades. They're still probably airing reruns on one of our awful cable channels.



e:

people are posting sketches from it on YouTube, if anyone wants to see the height of Finnish TV comedy for decades.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dLtY84LRec

When the new generation finally got a chance in the mid to late 90s it was a god drat revelation. This sketch from one of the most beloved shows of my youth, ("Studio Julmahuvi", Studio Cruel Fun) parodies pretty much 80% of Finnish movies from the 70s and 80s.

You're a terrible person, Mildred.
Modesty Blaise: The War-Lords of Phoenix





You may have noticed artist Jim Holdaway's signature disappear about halfway through this 'episode'; that's because he died of a sudden heart attack in 1970. And, while Enrico Romero would pick up the pen for Modesty's next assignment, "The War-Lords of Phoenix" still needed to be finished. That job was almost taken up by Frank Bellamy.

From Illustrators: The Modesty Blaise Artists:

Bellamy and Blaise
Norman Boyd reveals how Frank Bellamy could have been the successor on the strip after Jim Holdaway's sudden death...

At the time of his death in February 1970, Jim Holdaway was approximately halfway through Peter O'Donnell's latest story entitled "The Warlords of Phoenix." Although Spanish artist Romero had been chosen to lend a hand on the 'Modesty Blaise' strip while Jim Holdaway was recuperating from an accident, the news of his sudden heart attack left a gap which needed filling urgently. The powers that be at the Evening Standard must have thought it best to contact other artists as well, just to make sure they would have the proper replacement. One of those who tried out for the job was none other than Frank Bellamy.

At the time Bellamy had finished his long and memorable run on 'Thunderbirds' and was casting his net for further work. Illustrations for the bestselling magazine Radio Times and the prestigious Sunday Times Colour Magazine certainly paid well but he really needed a regular gig. When asked to try out for the strip, Bellamy was quoted as not being too happy and wasn't actually all that keen on taking over the strip as he didn't fancy "stepping into a dead man's shoes".

The three banks of strips he delivered as samples are taken from the middle of the story (numbers 2100, 2101, and 2102). Unfortunately, they were not great examples of Bellamy's unique style and were, in fact, rather staid.

Ironically a year later he began his five-year run On the Daily Mirror's 'Garth' strip until his own, early death at just 59 years of age.
