Separated at birth

Which used to be a regular feature in a magazine called Sunday (1973-1999)

Now am I the only one who thinks this way about THESE two?





















This one used his head to good effect recently
This one is a trifle Victorian in his outlook

  1. I can barely remember the 'Sunday'.

    But I remember looking forward to it because of the Blondie comic strip (which is still published, by the way, but I don't like the strip anymore)

    Found it pretty odd that they had changed the name to 'Graphiti', though.

    Funny word. Even funnier when you spell it correctly.

  4. Sunday! Wow. (I remember receiving our copy in the middle of the week.)

    @Eve's Lungs: The Weekly died under the Sardarji? On the contrary. The magazine died after Singh left, when it tried to become "respectable" (the M.V. Kamath era, I believe.)

  5. Hades, "Sunday" was a different mag. Started by MJ Akbar, iirc. "Graphiti" is the Sunday supplement with "The Telegraph".

    E Lungs, I second KM.

    Oz, you do?! I'm surprised at you!

    KM, you should tell us more.

  9. Anon, thanks, you're the first one to concentrate on the resemblances.

    Matt Perry and Gilchrist, a fleeting resemblance. Stewart (not Stuart) and Laurie closer, but Hugh is leaner.

    Patil and Gulzar saab, bang on!
