I was very happy with this until a Certain Person happened by on their way to the loo. Come and have a look at my cartoon, says me. There followed a bit of squinting and sucking of teeth, but no recognition of anything approaching a joke.
So is there a joke here?

So the guy is unimpressed with the woman because she did not have the sense to tie her hair around something solid first before lowering it down.
-
Yes, that is it in a nutshell. Or, to put it another way. No, you are a complete knob.
-
I'm thinking of changing the punchline.
-
Change it to: "Next time, Dearest, tie it round something solid."
-
I refer the right honourable gentleman to the answer I gave earlier.
-
While you guys trade insults, I'll laugh at the cartoon. (I like the way she's holding onto the window opening ;D)
The "knobhead" reference made me laugh too though. 1-0 Malc. ;)
-
And assuming that man does not have velcro footwear, the mere fact that only the force or gravity acting through his feet against the wall via the rotational moment of the woman's head is enabling him to climb the tower, that same force must be strong enough to scalp the woman. And what woman in her right mind would risk having her scalp torn off when a (rotational) moment's thought would have brought her to the conclusion that the safest way would be to anchor her hair round something solid. I can only assume the said sucking of teeth of Mr Certain Person was indicative of the paradoxically impossible situation presented to him in the cartoon.
-
Change the punchline to: "This cartoon should be rotated clockwise 90 degrees for it to make more sense."
-
Thank goodness she doesn't use conditioner or he would have slid right down again.
-
*mental note* Don't ask these idiots ANYthing in future.... <-
-
I'm thinking of changing the punchline.
"I can see Ye Olde Inn from here!"
-
I think there's certainly a joke there.
For me, the punchline's fine. Could the drawing be worked so that it's even more awkward/ungainly?
or
Rapunzel, face down in a crumpled heap at the base of the tower. Prince standing next to the heap with tresses still in hand?
-
It's a funny cartoon, beautifully drawn.

Don't encourage him!

It's also very similar to TTIII's rendition.

Wha...? I thought you guys were having a joke at first! :o
-
I'm willing to settle out of court.
How much do you want?
-
What have you got for a fallen crest?
-
These coincidences happen all the time, Malc, as you well know. Go for it! I never sold mine - didn't even try. It was done for fun.
-
And assuming that man does not have velcro footwear
Does Velcro stick to masonry?
Oh wait...I know...it's the fastenings on his climbing poulaines you're talking about.
-
I like both versions, especially as Tarksie showed how he drew his
cartoon work of art.
-
Thank you, Billl. And thanks for digging it out.
-
Notice how Tark's original version works without a punchline. Such amazing economy! And in Tark's version the woman probably did tie her hair round a solid object and then it slipped off, resulting the bloody accident, so it's even more believable in that sense as well. :)
-
I liked the way the video shows you doing all kinds of photoshop drawing wizardry seemingly without effort, and then right at the end it takes you three goes to sign your own name.
-
Most cartoonists have done a Rapunzel gag at some stage of their career. In the one that Andrew and I did for the Lads' Mags about 30 years ago, her head came off.
Not quite as subtle as Malc's.
-
I suppose it falls into the cartoon cliche category - desert island, trapeze artists, man on ledge, etc.
Actually, I just thought of one. Sign on door marked "Sheriff's Posse" says "gone to lynch". Bet it's been done.
Harbour master's door - "Gone To Launch"
Town Planning door - "Gone To Lunc"
That's enough doors -Ed.

So the sentence "It's a funny cartoon, beautifully drawn." was your subtle way of avoiding saying: "Yeah, yeah, been there, done that, got a tshirt with something similar."

Ahem...

Have you any idea how many copyright laws you've just broken in your insatiable desire to prove a point, Mincey?
Loved the nose hair one though...
-
Me too. And the Rapunzel cartoon is in the bin. :-\

No, I said it because it's a funny cartoon, beautifully drawn. Malc's angle was nicely subtle. Regardless of how many cartoons are done on "cliched themes"---desert islands etc....it's still possible to come up with a fresh twist. Come on, Mincey---I'm sure you could dash off one of your famous cartoons with a Rapunzel theme!
-
Mince? Famous cartoons? Oh, dear Lord - have I been away that long?
-
Even though I have come back to the UK regularly over the last 18 years, I never kept up with the telly. Lately, I've been amazed to see Bruce Forsyth still working. I remember he was always mentioned in conjunction with Tarby, usually at some golf pro-am thing or other, and we were encouraged to think of Brucie, Tarby, Parkie, etc, as the UK's version of Sinatra's rat pack.
I honestly thought Brucie would have moved to Australia, like Max Bygraves and (more lately) Leo Sayer.

It's also very similar to TTIII's rendition.

That was awesome - I was able to see it on high speed at the library like a normal person. I was cool to watch the stages of cartooning.
-
Anyway, Malc, any other cartoons you want me to comment on?

Glad you enjoyed it, Diane. Next time you're at the library, try this one for size (with the volume turned up full! ;D )....

-
Yes, Mincey, you can comment on this one (http://malcaccount.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/pg-fascist-copy1.gif)
-
Change the caption to "I'm all for the hard training but if that Di Canio continues to insist on Nazi salutes, it's going to be handballs all the way."
-
You are taking the pith out of my caption.
-
No, I'm merely commenting. :)
-
I'm saving the Rapunzel as a future political cartoon. The hair will be labelled "Unemployment", or "Exchange Rate Mechanism" or some such, and Rapunzel will be a political figure.
Or something.
-
Change the Rapunzel punchline to 'Come on. Admit it. You can't even come up with a decent political punchline for this.'
-
It's just so rubbish it might work.
-
You should alter the punchline to your first reply to Mince:
