Obsession.
« on: December 12, 2008, 11:07:19 PM »
The cartoonists who visit this site will empathise with this....
At any given time, I have about four weeks of Beau Peep scripts in stock, ready to send out to Andrew. It's a tiny bit of breathing space but it keeps me sane. Today, as I was working on some more strips, my mind drifted back to the stuff I'd written a month ago and, in particular, a punchline I'd used in one of them. The more I thought about it, the more I realised that one of the words should have been accentuated. This bugged me so much that, realising it would be among the scripts I was about to send to Andrew, I dug out the strip concerned and changed "is" to "IS".
I hope you appreciate the work us guys put in. It's not all champagne, helicopters and naked super-models.

My helicopter needs a new battery in the remote-control.

What a coincidence. So does my naked super-model.

I was going for the Marx Brothers myself, with me as Groucho, Peepsie as Chico, and Mince as Harpo (I wish!) or Karl - take your pick.
