Norman..


..was exceptionally good in the centre couch position.
A tank of thank to Dr Claudia Moeckel for this submission. I hope it's ok that I changed the words a little bit as I'd rather it began with 'Norman'. You might guess from the name that Claudia is German, and I should point out that this cartoon was drawn before Germany narrowly beat England last week. She is not what you'd describe as a football fan, rather, for her, these matches are an opportunity to take advantage of the quiet streets und shops. All the same, congratulations on the zehr gut victory over Argentina!
Some more cool Normans received and awaiting posting (thanks all), not to mention one from a rather established cartoonist, don't want to say tooo much yet but would the words Bill Watterson mean anything to you? Get on the winning team and send me a Norman!

  1. I'm back to Germany tomorrow and I'd rather see happy bunnies, so I'm glad with the result. I can't wait to see all the Normans. Wow, Bill Watterson, wow!

  2. Yes a great result, will you still be there on Wednesday after Germany Spain? Could be interesting.

    Yes, old Bill, it's quite an honour getting him on board. He works at ASDA in Heysham.

  3. I like this Norman - expect the England flag is now down and in the trash and replaced by a rather skilful and quick Germany flag.

    Right better get going with my two Normans, or else I'll look like a sheep.

  4. I'm going back home on Wednesday after work. I'd rather not stay too long. My experience with football fans is not good: I stayed once in Rotterdam, Netherland, not far from the Feynoord stadium. Something didn't please the fans, so they riotted the city center for the whole night. I had the choice to watch the events on the television, or just right from my hotel's window. Please tell Bill to not abuse of the cider, I think I heard a story about Heysham.

  5. Yes, there is a German flag now - Norman put it upside down (from the light of liberty a bloody battle leads to the darkness of slavery) as an act of revenge.
