Me Bandy, You Cissie by Donald Jack
The Great War may be finished, but Bartholomew Bandy isn't. After not quite succeeding in defeating communism in Russia, he's returning to the New World when he meets shy, awkward Cissie Chaffington, whose first glimmerings of interest in aviation appear when she sends a cooked duck soaring through the ship's first-class dining room. More than just terminal embarrassment stands in the way of their happiness, however. Her father, for example, takes a violent dislike to Bandy - even before Bandy blows up Cyril Chaffington's hotel. And then who should turn up but the diminutive Dasha, the former Bolshevik (sort of) nurse whom Bandy married (sort of) in Russia, where she betrayed him (more or less) to the mercy (or lack thereof) of the Red Cavalry. Between sorting all of this out, carrying airmail, and trying to start his own aviation business while dodging flappers and bootleggers, Bandy hardly has time to be a silent movie star. This edition includes Banner's Headline, a radio play by Donald Jack published here for the first time. In it we discover what happens when Arthur Banner, a rocket scientist, gets passed over for promotion one too many times, and decides to resign to work on a project of his own.Before moving to Canada, Donald Jack was born in England and served in the Royal Air Force during WWII. He was well-known for his screenplays for films and television shows, as well as his plays. However, he is best known for The Bandy Papers, a series of comic books about the experiences of a bumbling First World War soldier who went on to fame and tragedy in the postwar world. Three Cheers For Me; That's Me In The Center; It's Me Again; Me Bandy, You Cissie; Me Too; and This One's On Me, the first six volumes in the series, were recently republished by McClelland & Stewart. They won three Leacock Awards for Humour and the unwavering support of Bandy fans all across the world. Donald Jack, who was 78 years old at the time of his death, died in 2003.
