I love the Goon Show. It's pretty much the Grandpappy of every comedy show I enjoy, since any comedian or comedy writer who injects some surrealism into their work is bound to be influenced either directly by it or by a comedian who themselves were influenced by the Goons. Some of it can be a bit inaccessible to first time listeners, but this sketch is just perfect. Peter Sellers playing Bluebottle and Spike Milligan playing Eccles. I think the drawings here are Milligan's as well.
