Pip, Squeak And Wilfred
''Pip, Squeak and Wilfred'' was a British strip cartoon published in the ''Daily Mirror'' from 1919 to 1956 (with a break c. 1940–1950), as well as the '' Sunday Pictorial'' in the early years. It was conceived by Bertram Lamb, who took the role of Uncle Dick, signing himself (B.J.L.) in an early book, and was drawn until c. 1939 by Austin Bowen Payne, who always signed as A. B. Payne. It concerned the adventures of an orphaned family of animals. Pip, who assumed the "father" role, was a dog, while the "mother", Squeak, was a penguin. Wilfred was the "young son" and was a rabbit with very long ears.

Pip (Moby-Dick Character)
Pip, short for Pippin, is the African-American cabin-boy on the whaling-ship '' Pequod'' in Herman Melville's 1851 novel, ''Moby-Dick''. When Pip falls overboard he is left stranded in the sea, and rescued only by chance and becomes "mad." The book's narrator, Ishmael, however, thinks that this "madness" gives Pip the power to see the world as it is. Pip is first described as "insignificant," but is the only member of the crew to awaken feelings of humanity in Ahab, the ship's monomaniacal captain. Critics say that Pip shows Melville's use of irony and contradiction to explore race relations and human rights in the 19th century United States. Pip Cliffs is a site in the Antarctic Peninsula, one of a group named after characters in ''Moby-Dick'' Role in the plot Pip may have been inspired by John Backus, a member of the ''Acushnet'', Melville's first whaling ship. Melville listed the members of that crew, describing Backus as a "little black", and another member of that c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
British Army Officer Rank Insignia
Listed in the table below are the insignia—emblems of authority—of the British Army. Badges for field officers were first introduced in 1810 and the insignia was moved to the epaulettes in 1880. On ceremonial or parade uniforms these ranks continue to be worn on the epaulettes, either as cloth slides or as metal clips, although on the modern 'working dress' (daily uniform) they are usually worn as a cloth slide on the chest. Although these insignia apply across the British Army there is variation in the precise design and colours used and it can take some time to become familiar with them all. Officers in the ranks of lieutenant and second lieutenant are often referred to as subalterns and these and captains are also referred to as company officers. Brigadiers, colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors are field officers. All above these are considered to be of general officer rank. Ranks General rank information Notes The rank of Field Marshal has become an honorary/cere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
