Kent Taylor as Boston Blackie
Opinions on the pencil thin varied.
Pearlie: That's a sketch!
Clint: Damnable looking.
Me: You remind me of Blakey from On The Buses or maybe George Roper from Man About The House.
Rod: Really suits you mate.
Bert chose to listen only to Rod. I wasn't worried. I knew that he'd shave it off eventually and that I would be delighted with his fresh, youthful look.
Today was the day. It was like trading in an old worn out husband for a younger model.
Sorry there are no pictures. I couldn't have done that pencil thin justice. But here is one of Blakey from On The Buses.
Not Bert

That is too funny, even without the pictures of Bert.
The Cowman had a great full mustache for so many years that I didn't like it when he once shaved it off.
Bert's moustache was the moustache of a hobo. Better that there were no photos. But, if he does it again...
Do I take it you did not like the moustache?
I bet you are glad it was not like this: http://www.handlebarclub.co.uk/GalleryPhotos/TimBettertonbig.jpg
I checked that out. I reckon Bert would have liked it.
that cheered me up
