Money
When I was a kid money seemed to go a lot further. Ten pounds was a fortune, we got 50 p a week pocket money and that would buy us 50 one penny sweets! Imagine my alarm when I discovered that one penny sweets had increased to two penny sweets! What the hell. I got locked out of my house the other day for a few hours and me and my brother were depressed at the fact there was nothing we could do with ten pounds. It used to be that with ten pounds two people could go to the cinema or bowling. But now? We spent it going to the shops to buy a bottle of coke and some biscuits. You can imagine how long that staved off the boredom for. Even driving at 20mph we still had 30 hours left to kill. Inflation sucks.
Woah, a proper rant. It’s been a while!
The astute of you will notice that today is not Tuesday. I missed Tuesdays comic and yet I’m posting it on Thursday, but on Tuesday’s date simply because I don’t want to screw around with the archives, I’ll be uploading the missing comics soon enough. It’s the wee hours of Friday, meaning if you’re American you at least got Thursday’s comic. It seems the webcomics gods hate me. On Thursday last week I was just about to post a comic when I realised I had completely redrawn a comic from a few months back. On Tuesday I was just about to finish a comic when my computer blue screened. ARGH. I’ll try to pop out (or poop out, judging by the quality of my recent comics) the missing comics later today, Friday, or maybe Saturday. And maybe a video. But it’s 4:30 am now, so I make no promises.

cool.
hate that BSOD though (blue screen of death). My brother installed a screensaver of it on my computer. Now whenever i have left it alone for 15min it looks like its crashed. I’d remove but i can’t be stuffed.

Why back in my day you you could get a box of Cracker Jacks and two Johnny cakes for a Nickel and still have enough left over for a whuppin’! Of course, in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah - the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…
