If a wild pig kills you, does it mean you’ve been boared to death?

I saw an offer in a shop
“TV for £4.50 – the volume is stuck on maximum"
It was an offer I simply couldn’t turn down.

What do you call the wife of a hippie?
Mississippi.

Have you heard about the fire in the shoe factory?
Hundreds of soles were lost!

Stairs cannot be trusted. They’re always up to something.

I got drunk yesterday and ate some scrabble tiles because it seemed fun. Now that I'm sober, I fear my next bathroom visit could spell disaster.

This is from a while back, but I have to agree. I grew up with really well-illustrated comic books in the 70's and 80's and the artistry today is absolutely banal across the board. Can't tell whether nobody has any talent left or if they think they have talent and they're at the top of their game... :) Either way, it isn't great! I hate seeing these new books and the "dimsey" FF cartoons that are representative of the new talents in the field today. Hard stuff! :)
