Yes the Thomas one also tickled a funny bone and remiss of me not to mention it.

I too read the Thomas books as a boy and what struck me about them was A) The physical size was smaller than the norm as if to fit a young boys hand and B) the illustrations. Colourful and detailed, unlike what passes for same these days, with things going on in the background made the world of Sodor almost real for myself as a child and oddly enough have a fascination to this day.

In one of the frames I notice, Thomas makes reference to the fat controller but sadly now the woke brigade have torpedoed that insomuch as he his now referred to in the stories as Sir Topham Hatt as it is construed as being offensive to those of us who are overweight.

Speaking as a fat b$!*ard myself I find nothing offence in the term "Fat Controller", nobody consulted me so I guess I must have missed that meeting. (laughs maniacally.)
