Based on the drawing and the little bits of caption that aren't covered, it doesn't take a comedy genius to come up with "Shall I slide down the banister and warm up your supper?"
Pedro would be proud of me. 
I wonder what's happened to Hercules Thynne?
He's not posted nothing for yonks.
I'm missing those misses so willing to sin
And terrible topers with luminous conks.
I'm downright deserted. I'm left in the lurch
Now he's picked up his sticks and departed.
Could it be the old duffer's just dropped off his perch
And his carcass away has been carted?
I'm pining for Pedro. I crave schoolboy smut.
Flagrant misogyny? Give me a glut!
Be gone, wokerati. I giggle with glee
When I spy saucy postcards from Somewhere-on-Sea!
Mr Herc is taking a sabbatical.
He's not quite the ticket at the moment.
Meanwhile, you can guess the wording on this banned one.

Magnificent!
Sorry for posting that twice

Yes, has to be. A shame such a great piece of sauciness wasn't allowed to be published by the killjoys of the day.

A wonderful bit of work.
Hope he takes his pipe out first.
He'd need to be a freak gymnast to do it with his pipe in surely?

I was going to reply with something about Old Holburn but Google tells me it's cigarette tobacco and, in any case, she's probably a very decent woman.
Something something rough shag something
Here's another that was banned.
They eventually allowed it without the joke??
"Has anyone seen my little Willy?", or something, I presume.
That one's as old as the hills. The original showed the fat man in the sea.
Where's Herc? I can't see him anywhere.

That's the missing caption, you mean?! The man on the beach is looking for Herc! Ha! Ha! Ha!
But yes, he's been MIA for a few weeks now. Actually, from looking at his profile his most recent post (on the 25th May) said "F**k it, time for a Sabbatical" so presumably he's just taking a break from the forum and will hopefully return soon.
