Further to this, I also believe you are mistaken about the second flag, it doesn’t look like a Uruguayan flag at all, but an early flag of El Salvador:

Sadly, as it was Janet who did the illustrations, I’m not sure he’d be able to enlighten us :cry:

Imagine Churchill wearing a trilby!

Fuck off mate. The blue on that flag is completely wrong and the latest one was abandoned in 1912 - the book is clearly set in the 40s.

What shall I do after that?

And in what way does it resemble ANY flag that the proud nation of Uruguay has ever flown?

I’ve been done there. That outfit is spot on. So it’s Churchill, and I’d now suggest Janet simply got the us flag wrong/the printers fucked it/something like that, and the blog is basically correct

Just seen in the Wikipedia article on them that the baby in Peepo is meant to be Allan Ahlberg himself, so maybe he would know?

Yeah, I think that’s the most likely scenario, hard to imagine she accidentally inverted the colours of the Stars and Stripes, but there you go.

Top left is clearly red in the illustration though.

Ok mystery solved. It’s supposed to be the US flag but looks like the Uruguayan.

NEXT: they did this on purpose didn’t they…

It’s definitely not fucking yellow

I’m with HYG that it more closely resembles the out of date El Salvadorian flag

He’s on the wind up as per but it does have some red in it. Obvs the Uruguayan flag tho

#29

definitely didn’t click on that trying to unblur the spoiler

(it’s a gold sort of colour, much like the sun thing in the uruguayan flag)
