Colonel Blink : ウィキペディア英語版 | Colonel Blink Colonel Blink (tagline: "The Short-Gighted Gink") was a British comic strip, drawn by Tom Bannister in November 1958 for the majority of its run, with a few later strips being drawn by Bill Ritchie and Gordon Bell in the same style as Bannister. The strip was published in the comics magazine ''The Beezer''. Denis Gifford in his Encyclopedia of Comic Characters (1987) attributes his creation to "Carmichael." These days he occasionally appears in the reprint Classics from the Comics series. ==Concept==
Colonel Blink, whose name was a pun on ''Colonel Blimp'', is a former military colonel who is short-sighted. Many of the one-page gags are about his bluff, no-nonsense treatment of people and situations that are a result of him not being able to see or discern what is going on around him. With the usual comic disregard for foolish internal consistencies, every other story involved his driving down the road in a car that had obviously seen the dawn of the Edwardian era. Although Blink was "known to the police" for various misdemeanours involving often lunatic examples of mistaken identity he was never pulled over for dangerous driving. The charm of the stories lies in the utter lack of malice in Colonel Blink: the madcap adventures are an escalating sequence of disasters based on innocent and often very well-meaning intent. The character is referred to as a colonel in the strip's title but the character having been in the army is rarely mentioned in the strip's itself. However in one strip it refers to the characters time in the military and says he became colonel but leaves a lot of questions unanswered. In another, it mentions that he had an old war wound that still required attention by a doctor, although whether this was the reason for him leaving the army was never explained.
