This cartoon uses a precise transcription of Nicholas Alkemade’s appearance on the BBC One program “I’ve got a Secret,” which originally aired on December 5, 1984. The comic’s title appears at the top: “When Nicholas Alkemade was on “I’ve Got a Secret. “ The words “I’ve Got a Secret” appear in a cursive font. All of the other text appears in all caps in a sans serif font. The entire comic is in black and white with a few shades of gray. At the top left-hand side of the page is a man in a dark suit and a striped tie with a hankerchief in his suit pocket. He sits with his hands folded in front of him and a blank expression on his face. He is slightly balding, has a moustache, and is wearing glasses. His name appears underneath him: Nicholas Alkemade. Sitting next to him at the same table is the host of the show, Tom O’Connor. He wears a light-colored suit with an even lighter tie. He has long, helmet-y, light-colored hair. He has his right hand in the air with his forefinger pointing up. He says the following: And for the panel the clue is: “A happening with no strings attached.” Below him sits the show’s panel at a different table. On the left is Chris Kelly, a strong-chinned, handsome man in a suit and tie. To his left is an attractive, long-haired woman wearing a v-nick top. She has on earrings and a necklace. Her name is Anneka Rice. To her left is a curly-haired man in a suit and tie. He is wearing glasses. His name is Barry Cryer. To Barry’s left is a woman wearing a multi-colored outfit. Her hair is pulled up in a knot on her head and ringlets of hair fall on either side of her face. Her name is Bettine LeBeau. All of the contestants have pencils and paper. They wait in anticipation for the questioning to begin.
