History ComicStrip / GeorgeAndLynne

The strip focused on the titular married couple, George and Lynne Newman, who lived in a nice house in the suburbs of south west London. George was the breadwinner, working in what appeared to be property law (although his exact job was never mentioned), and Lynne spent her days shopping, socialising and sunbathing. The couple had no children and enjoyed a life of holidays, fine dinners and incredibly bad jokes, mostly by Lynne. Lynne had a relaxed attitude to nudity and was frequently shown topless or naked, which George (and many of ''The Sun'''s readers) did not mind at all.

** In one strip, Lynne writes in her diary about how she saw a "handsome hunk with a great six pack", but ignored him, as there's only one guy for her. George, reading over her shoulder, thinks she's referring to him. Lynne then writes "It's just a shame [[Creator/AngelinaJolie Angelina]] got to [[Creator/BradPitt Brad]] first."

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: 'Mantha, usually as an excuse for Lynne's bad puns. The blog ''George and Lynne Explained'' also deliberately does this with 444 strips, looking at over the top explanations as to why the dialogue and settings are as they are.

* FlirtatiousSmackOnTheAss: In one strip, Lynne wears some [[PaintedOnPants skintight shorts]], and worries that they might be ''too'' short. George assures her that they're perfect, and that the issue is that her ''legs'' are too long - while playfully swatting her backside.

* HomeNudist: Lynne, frequently.

** The footballer player's girlfriend is implied to be this, going by George's sly claim that her "great pair" is "always in the papers".

** There's also the barmaid at the Ferryman, a stunning blonde whose outfit shows off her chest, midriff and legs.

-->'''George:''' Uncle Harry was a [[TheGadfly joker]] to the end.

** Another strip features a neighbor shamelessly ogling Lynne while she's sunbathing topless, telling her that it makes up for him not getting his copy of ''The Sun'' this morning.

* ExactWords: One strip shows George returning from the reading of his uncle Harry's will. Lynne is ecstatic when he tells her he was left a "small fortune". Though her joy quickly deflates when it trurns out to be the words "small fortune" written on a piece of paper.

** There's also the barmaid at the Ferryman, a stunning blonde whose outfit shows off her chest, [[BareYourMidriff midriff]] and legs.

* SelectiveEnforcement: In one strip, a bad-tempered boat owner is shown being hostile to anyone who comes near his boat... expect for a topless Lynne and 'Mantha floating in a rubber dinghy, whom he lets pass by with a lovestruck smile on his face.

Whilst most strips featured a simple joke, the one and only ongoing storyline took place over five months in 2001 to mark the strip's 25th anniversary. George had an affair with a woman he met over the Internet, and got involved with gangsters, blackmail and Lynne retaliating with an old flame. After almost losing each other for good, George and Lynne realised how much they meant to each other and the status quo was resumed.

* WorldOfPun: Practically every character takes the chance to indulge in comedic worldplay or a funny turn of phrase.

** In another story, George spots a "new couple" across the street. When Lynne joins him at the window, she sees that the "very nice pair" he was referring to belongs to a [[BuxomIsBetter buxom]] redhead.

* KinkySpanking: In one strip, Lynne wears some [[PaintedOnPants skintight shorts]], and worries that they might be ''too'' short. George assures her that they're perfect, and that the issue is that her ''legs'' are too long - while playfully swatting her backside.

* AllMenArePerverts: Multiple strips feature George and other males having their focus caught by attractive women (to their wives/girlfriends' annoyance), with some others featuring men getting peeks at Lynne.

* EekAMouse: In one strip, causing Lynne (in her underwear) to leap onto a chair. She wonders where the mice keep coming from; it turns out George is buying them from a pet shop in order to scare Lynne and get a look at her bottom.

* HomeNudist: Lynne, frequently.

** There's also the barmaid at the Ferryman, a blonde who outfit shows off her chest, [[BareYourMidriff midriff]] and legs.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Lynne, big time. She was very confident in her body and was seen without clothes almost as much as she was with them. She wasn't above using her figure to get what she wanted, either.

* WardrobeMalfunction: George and Lynne were being given a lift by their friend Clive in a topless sports car. For some reason, the wind caused Lynne's dress to come off.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The 25th anniversary storyline, mentioned above. Not only was it an ongoing storyline, but was much more dramatic and much less comedic.
