A young lady called Violet Jessop survived TB when little.
A steward on RMS Titanic, she was picked up from a lifeboat, a baby in her arms.
In WW1, she was a nurse on HMHS Britannic,Titanic's sister, sunk by a mine in the Aegean.
Violet escaped and lived to be 83.
Sluggo'll be fine.

Reminds me of another old cartoon.
A grubby, unshaven guy, cigarette drooping from his lips, dressed in singlet and slacks, holds open the back door of the house for his wife.
As she bustles past with a full coal scoop, she puffs:
"Thanks, Albert. You're a gentleman!"

As they tended to be published for the first time in December, the tradition was hardbacks. One was once signed by Terry!

At Christmas, my sister and I would always give each other the newest Pratchett book.
It was a little hard to take when we realised we could no longer do that, but we each have shelves of humour and wisdom to show for it.
