Cartooning:a licence to print money.

[Roger Kettle]

As I'm sure you all know, there are several cartoonists who visit this site and, like me, they are all obscenely rich. I, myself, own a mansion in Scotland, a villa (with beach) in Portugal, a ranch in Montana and about two thirds of Latvia. I will not disclose the real name of Tarquin Thunderthighs lll but the man has billions. Not only does he light his cigars with a twenty pound note, he lights the twenty pound note with a fifty pound note. The Peepmaster has a castle on Bute---only because the west coast of Scotland is a handy spot to launch your yacht towards Jamaica (which he owns). Malky McGookin emigrated to Australia and is now Prime Minister and owner of all the goldmines in Ginganggoorlie. I doubt if, between us, we work four hours a week.
I felt it was time that you, the public, knew the truth about cartooning.

Had a teeny weeny bit of the hard stuff Roger

[Roger Kettle]

No, Peter, I haven't. These days, I employ people to drink for me.

[The Peepmaster]

I feel quite proud of the fact that we still speak with ordinary mortals, Roger. I hope they appreciate it.

My butler, who types this stuff, couldn't agree more.

Good grief - you're responding almost as fast as I can dictate this stuff to my P R Guru.

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Now that you have let the panther out of the bag, let us hope that Alistair Maclean Darling is not a lurker on this forum, Roger.

Of course, we all do our bit for the less fortunate. Lottery Funding - that's me, that is.

It's the women who frequent this board I feel sorry for. The poor petals probably only get a pittance allowance from their menfolk, and have few opportunities to desert their household duties to post here, (when allowed the borrow the computer, of course). I want them to know that I hold them in my thoughts, and I understand why they post so infrequently.

[Roger Kettle]

You're so rich you can afford two "s"s for "desert".

[The Peepmaster]

I'm having it looked into by my PR Guru.

'Cartooning: a licence to print money" - would that be 'funny money'?

Bet it is boring you watching someone else drinking your malt whiskey.
Even a Scotchman would cry about that.

A Scotsman wouldn't touch "whiskey" - that's the Irish version!

No, but a "Scotchman" might.

Peter, that one doesn't even fall into the 'get a spell-checker' category. Scotch is a drink or a sticky tape - it is not a nationality.

I've just wasted about ?5k of my time typing that.  :
