RIP John Ryan.

(I won't mention the urban myth involving the Pugwash characters Seaman Staines and Roger the cabin boy :-rofl2)

I used to love the Captain Pugwash animations when I was a little kid. Just shows how long it has been going for. Thanks for them John. R.I.P.

The seaman Staines and Roger the cabin boy joke reminds me of the reason camels are known as the ships of the desert: They are usually full of Arabian seamen.
 
RIP John Ryan
 
Bye John. You were much appreciated.
