The legendary exploits of Bournemouth's Bishop Bonkers are known only too well to followers of this epic feud. Humorist Cecil Lamont Dwiggins has kindly emailed me a compressed computer file chock a block full of very funny artwork on the subject which I'll be sharing here in weeks to come. He also sent me a brief letter in which he related some of the "Bonkers" stories he'd been told on which much of his comic strip work was based. One memorable incident entailed the Bishop's fascination with the late Princess Diana. According to a domestic maid employed at the Bishop's residence, Bonky awoke one night loudly proclaiming that the late Diana's spectre had visited certain "favours" upon him while clad only in her transparent nightie. The maid testified that indeed, the following day, the bedclothes were "unusually damp".

Watch out for Visions and Vampires--even more visions, including the Holy Shimmering Light!The Diana dickipoggy dream was just jumpting on the Diana bandwagon at the time of her death, a bit sicko really, as he had written previously she was a bit of a floozie. All that splashing about and weeping--not to mention the tape!
