OldMan Comics #22
Hi Ade,
Many thanks for all your lovely drawings and quirky observations , and your prose poems in the instalments of the not-quite-Daily Deity – they’ve certainly helped to keep me going through a rather difficult time. Love the overheard “This is the right platform. But we have to wait till the train’s here before we can get on” – a sentiment worthy of Private Eye’s Commentatorballs, methinks.
A friend of my mother’s has recalled that there was nothing my mother loved more than a jolly good argument. I can imagine my mother’s first encounter with Death – although I think it would be more accurate to call it Death’s first encounter with her. To eavesdrop in the middle of the conversation:
…YOU KNOW
Mother [following Death’s having said something that’s not quite logical]: “That doesn’t make sense. It can’t be this and that at the same time, it can only be one or the other”.
IT HAS BEEN PROOVEN YOU KNOW
“Proven, not prooven”.
YOU KNOW
Mother [who has, unbeknownst to Death, been surrrptitiously counting the number of times he’s said YOU KNOW]: “You know, you know, you know…”
Looking forward to seeing you at the Ankh-Morpork Opera Tuesday-after-next evening,
Love,
Julie xxx
