Ian and Paul are brilliant in this. Merton really looks like weasel when he looks around. Or a mongoose.
Not too sure about Angus, though. A bird might be too expressionless (No Angus-smirk, then) , but I can't think of a better match. A cat, maybe?

Thankyou for the kind comment! You're quite right about Angus, now I look back (you've made me want to re-draw this, now). I've warmed to Hislop over the years, I do admit it.
Angus as a cat would fit perfectly! But what breed? Burmese? Russian Blue? Hmm...

He would have to be some posh cat breed, I think.
I associate that with long-haired ones, like Norwegian forest cat, but I don't know if that would look like him, so maybe something like Russian blue?
But maybe it should be brown...

Haha, nice work. I like the play on 'Hislop'.
These guys are national treasures.

Funnily enough - I also see Angus as a bird character a la 'Count Duckula' seems to fit.

I love how you say "Angus isn't really a buzzard, Paul isn't a weasel" but don't mention that Ian isn't actually a pig! Heehee
Seriously though, very good. xxx

Aww, shame that. Have I Got News For You is a topical news quiz, it sounds dull but it's fantastically amusing. Started in 1991 I believe, and is still going today (but it got boring when Angus got sacked).

My god, you're right. In fact, the resemblance to the real Ian is terrifyingly close...
I do love these. I never imagined Paul as a weasel before, though. But now I'll probably think every time I see him from now on. And even though you say weasels are hard to draw (I'd imagine they are) you've done a fine job. And Angus as a buzzard? Brilliant! Shame we don't see much of the fella these days...

Thankyou! Glad the Hislop resemblence is clear. I feel a bit lazy as his is the only name to which I even attempted to add a pun. I haven't a clue why I see Paul as a weasel. I really have no clue whatsoever.
Angus was going to be a horse, but birds are generally cooler than horses so the buzzard won.
Bring back Angus!
