PEANUTS was also the origins of Andy (the guy in the wheelchair) in terms of the look atleast

I always wondered what would happen when Marjorie's famous-from-Shooting-Stars son Georgie joined Fat Fighters. It would go as well as when her sister joined, I expect.

@snowball1988 yh i kno i've seen the aandy worhol thing but the look is based on the peanuts guy

[snowball1988]

@Crookmeisteren the character of Andy in terms of personality is based on when they done a lou reed and andy worhol sketch on their rock profile program, but yeh they combined peanut's look with the andy worhol character and thats how they invented andy from little britain

@icebergUK

[Crookmeisteren]

[icebergUK]
