Very amusing, Pete. I'll have to give this Invisible Dick a go if I ever come across it! Various elements remind me of Fatty and Goon, Great-uncle Robert, Mr. Pink-Whistle and Dame Slap!

[Lucky Star]

That instantly reminded me of Mr Goon and Buster.

[Eddie Muir]

Me too, John.

That was my first impression too! It looks as if it might be a fun book. The idea of being invisible has been used more than once of course.... I recall a children's TV series about a boy who could become invisible but no more details, I'm afraid.

[Courtenay]

Not to mention Harry Potter and the invisibility cloak!

Very amusing, Pete. I'll have to give this Invisible Dick a go if I ever come across it!

[Courtenay]

Yeah, now I re-read that line...

[John Pickup]

That instantly reminded me of Mr Goon and Buster.

And me!
