The Legend of Kilroy, Mr. Chad and Luke the Spook
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There were never any pictures associated with KILROY. He was an
Inspector who used to sign his name on things he inspected.
People saw this and so the saying "Kilroy was here" arose.
Any pictures of Kilroy ( like the first one below ) are in fact
pictures of that nosey character, Mr. Chad, who appeared during
the Second World War. The slogan " Wotch it ! " also appeared on
many Mr. Chad pictures.
The other nosey character is Luke the Spook and there have been as
many variants of Luke as there are Ascii Artists.
