PRESENTING (WHAT, AGAIN?) JINKSY JILL & HANDSOME BILL...


Pencilled, inked, lettered & coloured by me (boasting again)

I suppose I'm just being lazy showing this again, but I don't have anything new in me today.  This first started life as a 'rough' and had different dialogue with not-so-funny punchline.  Then I drew it up properly and invited readers to dialogue it in a competition.  Then, as semi-regular commenter CJ is sure to remind me, I used my own dialogue on the finished product, utilising an old joke that had been around for years.  However, I didn't award myself a prize, and CJ didn't want one, so no harm done.  Coloured by hand with acrylic inks I had lying around, I don't think it's too bad - I've certainly seen worse by guys who get paid for their stuff.

  1. I can still remember my suggested dialogue (not the exact words but near enough):

    WOMAN: My horoscope says I'm coming into money

    MAN: What's your star-sign?

    WOMAN: Taurus

    MAN: It's bullsh*t

    Now is that hilarious or what??

  2. I dunno - I just find the word 'bum' funnier than 'bullsh*t'. Where'd you nick it from anyway?

  3. Kid, that's slander you cad!!
    I made it all up myself - I was rather proud of my witty dialogue actually.

  4. Nope, slander is spoken, in print is libel. And only if it's an assertion or accusation, not a question. Gosh, I sometimes amaze myself with just how clever I am. I do seem to remember hearing something very like it on a TV show once though.
