An esteemed colleague of mine developed an aptitude for graphic design at an early age. He spent the entirety of the second year drawing dildos with wings in French text books, which we had to find. These were known as Flying Talbots. I believe “Where’s Wally” owes substantial royalties.

The “Flying Talbot” premise itself probably owes royalties to “Private Eye”. You used to be able to buy sets of three ceramic winged cocks, in a flying duck style, from ads in the back of the magazine. The whole “Talbot” thing was some sort of in-joke they had at the time.

I think “Talbots” was used because, everyone had a Miss Talbot in their school who was rather fit and because she wasn’t married, she was obviously a lesbian and used dildos.
Usually a maths or language teacher…
