Many thanks, as always, to all of you who entered the Yorkatt & Eric competition on Last Week’s News.

Some excellent entries, as always, and only one that I found incomprehensible!

Two entrants focused on the fact that, in the third frame, the two are sitting on a wall. Michael Cleary, of Bulmer, had the two discussing “pedantry” with Eric saying that people should not “sit on the fence” at a time like this with Yorkatt pointing out that in fact they were sitting on…yup, you guessed it!

Kenneth Bowker, of Huntington had the two discussing the horsemeat scandal and comparing their “sitting on a wall” to an EU directive.

I particularly liked the entries from Dave Platt, of Dunnington, but felt it not REALLY suitable to publish here (but it was VERY funny, Dave!), and Mr T Walton, of Copmanthorpe, who had Eric asking what it would mean if fire, instead of smoke, came out of the Vatican chimney.

“Ah”, replies Yorkatt. “It would mean that one of the cardinals’ hats had fallen on the fire!”

Runner-up was Steve Gibson, of Bishopthorpe, who had the two discussing the Bedroom Tax and other taxes. “Whatever next?” says Yorkatt “A cat-flap tax?”

And the winner? See above. Brilliant!
