Transparent Tony

From the latest (dead-tree) issue of Private Eye

“When you’re at school and tell a whopping great lie to get yourself out of trouble, you probably think you’re being clever. In fact, it’s not you at all. It’s Transparent Tony. He likes to sit in children’s hair and whisper half-truths in their ears. A word of warning though. Transparent Tony is the worst liar in the whole world, because everyone can see straight through him. So, if you are telling a lie, and you think it’s one of Tony’s, stop! Nobody will be fooled.” Rix, J. (1992) Ghostly Tales for Ghastly Kids.

At last! I don’t have to call the bastard “Poodle” or “Bliar”. From now on it’s Transparent Tony!
