Frame 1: "This is the evil swine..."

Frame 2: "I'm reporting you to the sheriff, for cutting the heads and arms off your customers. I appreciate that they are still able to move around, as indeed is the one standing by you, just to your right, (my left). Several are in the shop window, frantically trying to get out. As they no longer have eyes, they are unable to see the futility of their efforts."

Frame 3: "I AM the sheriff!"

Frame 1.  This must have been where we went after drinking last night Dennis.
Frame 2.  We were blind drunk and you sold us these poncy western outfits!
Frame 3. You should thank me legionnaires, you both asked for "saloon girl" dresses.

Goodness me! I see that a certain Mince has elected to use that same altered artwork for his own weak efforts, whereas others have done the decent thing and utilised the original.

I am prepared to forgive Tarquin, for he is a true artist, striving to push the boundaries of his medium, ever mindful that his admirers expect nothing less. Mince is a cockle's bum-smell.

I laughed out loud, but it needs a slight tweaking, (if you don't mind listening to the advice of an expert).

The change to the sign isn't really needed - the strip works fine anyway, except that it would be more appropriate if he said "Hi, I'm looking for a big girls blouse". And then the shopkeeper responded with "I'm sorry, Sir. Mince has already left."

The reference to a second person deflects a little from the humour, in my opinion.

It's this one, Roger. I really liked so many of the other entries, which were all very clever. Even the one by Mince had its plus-points.

I realise that Colin, by altering the sign, had technically altered the drawing, (like Tarquin Thunderthighs III did), but that didn't detract from the joke, and it still worked without the defacement. It was simply a yellow-card offence at most. He was still "in the game", so to speak. It's a true artist that transcends boundaries and challenges convention. Anyway, back to Colin, I felt his effort had but one challenger, and that was Rob. Since Rob admitted he's just copied something that Roger had created in the past, I had to rule that out too. In the end, Colin won because he deserved to. Well done Colin.

Congratulations Colin - yours was very funny.

And Peepmaster I must say that I admire you for picking a bloke to win the competition that made a his joke about you. You sir, are a gentleman.

Roger - you stand the risk of getting all kinds of loonies, spam and naked ladies filling your in-box if you post your email address on here. remember the adage:

What?!!!! Colin won?!!!!

Oh, come on, what is this rubbish?

Firstly, and I know this is difficult for someone like Peepmaster who can't count, I had two entries, not the paltry one that Colin made.

Secondly, Colin insulted two people in his cartoon, but I managed THREE. Again, this must be down to the numerically challenged Peepmaster.

Thirdly, mine was better anyway.

Fourthly, I should have won.

I'm not playing this Christmas competition any more if I'm not going to win every time.
