I think it would be interesting to know if Roger is able to remember his original speech bubbles after the thousands of cartoons he has written over the years.
-
That's a big ask, Diane - especially if there are any funnier-than-the-original entries posted in the competition.
Not that that's ever likely to happen of course.
-
At a rough guess, I've written something like 17,000 cartoon strips so it's inevitable I've forgotten more than one or two. Having said that, I can look at the first frame of a strip I wrote 25 years ago and tell you the punchline. Weird.
-
We'll have to test you on that one.
-
Did you know the three that were put in the speech bubbles contests Roger?
-
No, I had no idea but, let's face it, these set-ups have appeared hundreds of times. And I'm...um...far too busy to...um...be tested on trivia like this.
-
Well that's good Roger - you won't know and I don't know if I'm stealing your lines :)
Some of these things lay hidden in the back of your mind - Herman's wallpaper cartoon for instance. "Just show me something cheap and I'll force myself to like it." I think that anytime I even think of wallpaper.
It's awful to have copy written thoughts running through one's mind - one day they will figure out a way to charge per occurrence. :o
