Brian’s sense of humour lives on

I've been really enjoying the recent reprint of past Roger Rabbits columns. Sixteen years ago, my husband and I moved to Katikati.

After unpacking I picked up The Weekend Sun to read some local news. On page two I was confused about an article about light bulbs sucking the darkness out of the room when one turned them on. 'What's this guy going on about?” I said to my husband.

It wasn't until I had read a few more of Roger Rabbits weekly ravings that I realised what a clown he was. I couldn't wait to receive The Weekend Sun, to turn to page two for a dose of weekly humour.

During the Covid lockdown I took on the job of scrapbooking some of my life's collection of articles and photos, too good to throw away. Hope my descendants will save them for future generations.

These included a copy of RR columns ‘The Dark Sucker' and ‘Missing Star' – in which Roger has acknowledged my comments. Brian Rogers may have physically left this world but his quirky sense of humour will live on.
