Genuinely sad news - Tony Hart is no longer able to draw and must put down his pencil due to illness. He’s had two strokes, and this has prevented him from being able to draw properly.
According to the BBC, Tony says…
It has been my lifetime passion, but I endeavour to stay cheerful as there is nothing to be done about my condition.
This makes us older chaps feel our age, whilst the whippersnappers look at one another, bewildered.
For my part, I loved his shows when I was a lad, despite being terrified of Tony himself - he was a wise old Uncle who’d let you get up to whatever mischief you wanted, but always with the threat of him snapping into a foul temper at any moment.

That sucks. He was a legend.
He’s still alive, Tombstone - just out of action.
Mingles - answer the riposte…

Yeah but it sucks that he can’t draw. A legend at drawing he was.
I already did SH you gimp. collings can stand up for himself. Kohli is on everyfucking thing up here, believe me.
Yes - but then he responded to you. You thick, Scotch gibbon.
Yes - dats whot im talking about.
I wrote something, he resonded and I responded back. he just hasnt posted it yet. what are you his mother?
Oh.
Are you on the blob, CM?
Or did your overtures by electronic mail get rejected by that old woman you were hassling?
neither. looking forward to another week looking after my elderly parents: up at 7 to walk the dogs, no internet and non-stop shite tv from 7am till 10pm when they mercilessly retire to bed.
that’s turn anyone into a maniac - believe me.
Why hasn’t he posted your response Charlie? Did you use swears.
It’s not a good year for TV artists. Watch out Neil.
This was news about two years ago.
Tell that to the BBC.
Still, it’s more newsworthy than an airbrushed picture of your sister, eh what?
I was so surprised by thta, I posted it in a moment of brainlessness. Thankfully, I’ve come to my senses and have replaced that mucky picture with one of a dog dressed as an aeroplane. Much more newsworthy.
And I’d be careful if I were you. Mr. Tits could suffer for your insolence …
It wasn’t me that said that, up there - it was Dave in one of his many internet disguises. The shrivelled prong.
He’s a fool. His chances of winning a car are slipping further and further away.
Nap I’m not sure if it’s just my computer but everytime I go on your blog it still has a picture of your sister in a come and get it pose.
Napoleon’s right, this isn’t news. The headline reads ‘a sad day’ so it’s quite clearly an editorial. Though ‘Editorial gush’ sounds like a disease.
It is sad news, surely you can see that? Surely
Was that aimed at me, Piqued?
How’s the cold and bad back piqued? That really does sound like a horrid combination.
Tombstone - Does it? That’s a bit weird.
The tragedy is that this isn’t happening to Rolf.
Yep I click on your name and up comes a picture of your sister. I will try typing the address in the browser to see if you typing your website in a gain will change it.
Is that you George? Come closer, I can’t see
*sneezes*
*screams*
Nope, typed the address in and there’s your sister again.
TS - Press F5
There we go, she’s gone.
Huzzah.
SH, I don’t see what there is to ‘Huzzah’ about now Tony Hart can’t draw
Do U?
WEL DO U???????????????
Gutting. And yes, I 100% agree - you’d not mess with The Hart! x
Why not BM, soft as shite he was, yes he could draw but box? Box like a man?
No, no way
Tony Hart decked Piqued - it was on the news.
TONY HART DOES ART - PUNCHES OLD FART
was the headline.
Was it? Oh yes. I forgotted
I haven’t seen Tony Hart draw for years. Surely he could still doodle for his own pleasure?
*coughs*

bony tart, former artist
Is that you Dave?
No it’s Mork. I can only speak in weird groans yet, thanks to LearnDirect, my typing skills are coming on fairly well.
Since Harts Stroke and that SMart tit hanging himself I’ve been out of work. That cunt Aardman doesn’t help either.
Okay Dave.
Was it not Morph?
Morph could well have been responsible for that offensive joke about Tony Hart’s failing health, MD…
He was a mischievous little plasticine bastard, I’ll be bound.
Have you ever met a little plasticine man that wasn’t mischievous, nay, downright malicious?
No? I thought not.
