LOOKING BACKWARDS
keeping it clean
The serious
business of
being funny...
"The trouble with the
welfare system?" said the
long-haired youth. "They
ask you too many memory-
bending questions. Like,
"When were you last
employed?..."
The dialogue is from the
comic strip Flub, a regular
feature of the weekly,news-
paper, The Scarborough
Mirror. Its creator is
Peterborough's Gerry
McManus, an industrial
abatement inspector • for
the Ontario Ministry of the
Environment who believes
that making people laugh
is, as the saying goes, very
serious business.
"Sometimes you go ,sour
and have spells when
everything seems funny to
you," said Gerry. When
comic situations come to
mind for Flub, the non-
smoking, non-drinking;
unmarried, inept central
character, Gerry pens them
immediately. Good ideas
are quickly forgotten,
especially when they spring
up in the midst of a hectic
working day investigating
complaints for the Min-
istry.
Often the complaints
prove more comical than
the ideas, said Gerry.
Following up a citizen's
complaint Gerry was once
greeted by a lady standing
unblinking and unclothed
in her doorway. With the
deftness of a comic strip
character, • Gerry replied
"Uh, good morning, sir."
The incident will rest in
Gerry's memory, but it
will never be in his
strip. Comic strip writers,
he said, adhere to a strict
moral code. Bosoms,
buttocks and body fun-
ctions are taboo. So are
nudity, nihilism and
national origin.
But staying within the
bounds of good taste is
easier, said Gerry, than
keeping a strip tuned to the
10 YEARS AGO
JANUARY 1967
In the Lucknow Men's 9 p.m.
bowling league; Clarence Greer
broke all records with a triple game
of 958 flat and a single game of 363
flat.
Donald McKenzie, Reeve of,
Ashfield Township,' was elected
Warden of Huron County by
acclamation.
A special evening was' held by
the Lucknow and District Lions
Club to observe the 10th anniver-
sary of the formation of their club.
M. L. (Mike) Sanderson was the
1967 president. Other presidents
for the ten years were Omar
Brooks, Robert Finlay, Robert
McIntosh, Lloyd Ashton, Frank
Thompson, Gordon Montgomery,
Cecil Blake, Charles Webster and
issues of the day, such as
women's liberation. For
example, one strip found an
etomologist being blisted
for a reference to a "lady"
bug. "You mean a 'person'
bug," snapped the female
observer.
The essence of the
character, ,Flub, goes back
20 years. It's modelled
after an unloired second
engineer under whom
Gerry served in the
merchant marine. Since
then Gerry has become a
student of more than 50
cartoonists.
"As a student of comic
strips, I'm always learn-
ing," says Gerry. In that
way, it's a lot like working•
in the environmental
field...
"By the way, there's no
punchline to this," says
Gerry.
Sorry 'bout that '
charter president Rae Watson.
Harvey Webster, last president of
the former Clansmen Club, was
,honourary president when the club
was chartered.
