He invited himself into the "local" of his quiet copywriter, who was a very private man. After his first pint the bully started to tell everyone that they worked in advertising. The quiet writer had never mentioned what he did for a living, nobody in the pub knew. The art director pointed at the slogan for a famous beer printed in an ashtray: "We did this!" he belted. The confused barmaid told the writer: "I never knew you made ashtrays!"Oscar Grillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181976107304288464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198222436738433346.post-49462901197912682942010-01-27T17:32:29.774+00:002010-01-27T17:32:29.774+00:00The intention was late Ambler, Geoffrey Household,...The intention was late Ambler, Geoffrey Household, early Cold War. One of those legion of "Spy Thrillers". I enjoyed the Hoorah Henry but I think the rugby oaf is magnificently unaware agent of destruction.

I originally drew a "Hooray Henry" type of guy then I revised it and changed into the described rugby oaf. I would have preferred the story to be set in the nineteen tens to be more a "Hannay" type of adventure. Something out of The Twenty Nine Steps or The Lady Vanishes. Well.
