Yes!
They hunt him here, they hunt him there...but Thisiscollecting.com has
found him!
Comical Ali has been located and immortalised in Stoke on Trent at Kevin
Francis's Facepot Factory. Mohammed Said al-Sahhaf, the Iraqi Information
Minister, added his very own peculiar Alice in Wonderland humour to
the Iraqi war with fantastical statements including, "We are
Winning!" and "There are no Americans in Baghdad!"
- at the same time TV around the world was broadcasting pictures of
the fall of Saddam Hussein's statue in the centre of Baghdad and American
GIs lighting up their cigars at the check-in counters at Baghdad Airport!

To
date, none of the British manufacturers have issued any commemoratives
for the Iraqi war despite the long tradition in this country of issuing
plates and mugs to mark historic events. Don't miss this chance to own
your very own Comical Ali complete with his now immortal sayings.
Comical Ali will be the first limited edition Facepot and just 196 Comical
Ali Facepots will be made to honour Comical Ali's quote...."The
Cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catching them like fish
in a river. I mean here that over the past two days we managed to shoot
down 196 missiles before they hit their target."
Of the 196 Comical Ali Facepots that have been commissioned the following
are to make up the edition size:
** 156 will bear the quote "We are
winning!" - Comical Ali
** 40 will bear the quote "There are
no Americans In Baghdad! - Comical Ali
The 40 have been chosen as a mark of respect to Comical Ali in recognition
of his 40 years service to the B'aath Party which he joined in 1963.
The Facepot sees Comical Ali in his official uniform with his trademark
glasses and clenched desperately thumping home an assortment of weird
and wonderful sayings as British and American troops bring down the
Iraqi regime.
Don't miss out on this very special limited edition which is sure to
sell out quickly given that it is the only British made commemorative
to mark Comical Ali's contribution to the Iraqi war. Rumour has it that
Comical Ali will appear at Rosemont in the next few weeks so make sure
that you order your Comical Ali Facepot before he sells out on his American
Tour!
All Comical Ali Facepots will be sent out at random including the Gold
Backstamp editions and a few where Comical Ali is trying to cleverly
disguise himself by wearing 10 silver glasses instead of gold ones!
