Goon Bandage archiveSir Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan first met during WW2. Spike said afterwards that he lost a part of himself forever - his sanity. Harry said that all he lost was his glasses. From that meeting grew a friendship that gave birth to the Goons - an act that changed the face of British comedy and influenced all that followed it, from Monty Python to Eddie Izzard. Over time Harry became the 'Goon Bandage,' and the Goon he bandaged most was Spike. During Spike's many bouts of depression, Harry came with the grapes and sympathy and even paid some of his hospital bills.
