Title: Batches
Post by: Mince on September 04, 2007, 09:22:47 AM
Roger, do you write your strips in batches, knocking off a couple of dozen in a day, and then sit back and have a holiday, or do they have to come daily?

He does them all on a Sunday morning, and spends the rest of the week playing golf, watching football, and buying lemons (for his cocktails).

How does he get to the golf course if he cannot drive?

And surely he can afford driving lessons.

His driving lessons are at the driving range. He can afford them but doesn't have a Ford. He gets the bus.

Can he ride a bike?

I don't have that information. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Perhaps he should consider rollerskates.

You think it's that easy, YOU try it.


Just as a guide, it took me three hours and 24 minutes to craft that witty riposte above.

How clever. You had the reply started before Mince had even posted the question.

It can't be that difficult. Here is a week's supply if Roger wants a week off.

BEAU PEEP: Why aren't you wearing any trousers?
DENNIS: I am!
BEAU PEEP: Well, either you're crazy or I am.
DENNIS: (looking down) It's me, isn't it?


BEAU PEEP: So who stole your trousers?
DENNIS: Honest Abdul bought my belt.
BEAU PEEP: And the trousers?
DENNIS: I haven't seen them since.


DENNIS: Do you like my knobbly knees?
BEAU PEEP: Oh, belt up!
DENNIS: (annoyed face)
BEAU PEEP: (thinking) I'm a whizz at play on words.


BEAU PEEP: (to Mad Pierre) Doesn't Dennis look daft?
MAD PIERRE: [**SMACK**] (hits Beau Peep)
BEAU PEEP: Why did you hit me?
MAD PIERRE: (shrugs) I dunno.


BEAU PEEP: Why don't you buy some shorts.
DENNIS: That's a good idea.
BEAU PEEP: Mine's a whiskey. (laughs)

I write a 6-day series of Beau at one time. This may take a morning, a day or even two days. I have never written anything as good as the samples you provided.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Did any of them make you chuckle - even a little? I would like your professional opinion. It's okay. I can take criticism.

By the way, I did snigger a couple of times, but I'd guess you didn't do yourself any particular favours with Roger by suggesting "It can't be that difficult.". Everything else after that was tainted.

Put it this way, Mincey - I'd rather have Canterbury Cathedral pushed up my backside than see your drivel replace that of Roger's. Reading that tosh really made me appreciate Beau Peep as it is.

I've been thinking long and hard about the above sentence, and I know I might be upsetting a certain person, but after careful consideration I would have to stick to my guns and say that I don't like the two full stops at the end.

Well, I wouldn't go THAT far! To be honest, I thought YOU were being sarcastic and dashing off intentional nonsense as a joke. Having said that, one or two of the gags are quite close.

I was. I quickly ran out of ideas before I started writing the first one.

Quite close to what?

To the feel of the strip.
Title: Re: Batches
Post by: Mince on September 04, 2007, 02:17:14 PM
That's only because I'm using something already created by you. That's easy.

I guess I shall have to create my own strip with my own characters.

They are separated by quotation marks. The first signifies the end of the sentence I was quoting, and the second signifies the end of my own sentence. I don't see nothing wrong that.

Now post me something you've drawn. Go on.

They only refer to the Scotish type.

Mince wasn't referring to Irish whiskey. He just repeated the wrong spelling that his father recently used in referring to Scottish whisky. Of course he will say he was referring to the Irish stuff, but I know better.

Er...actually, I meant indulge in childishness, Peter, but I see you sought to prove my point with a bit of a tantrum instead. Fair enough.

I just like to keep the kids on the right lines.
A promise should be kept.

If not he may start wearing a hood and getting drunk on a street corner.
He may meet you on your street corner.

How would you spell a word that covered all types of "whisky-whiskey"  and any other dam spelling you want to use for this type of drink.

I've decided to give insults a rest for a while. I've decided to be really nice for a week.

Peter, to be fair to Mince, he didn't say he 'wouldn't have a go at anyone for a week', he said he'd be 'nice' - maybe this is his idea of 'nice'!
