Illustration Friday :: Twist


A play on Charles Dickens.

EXTERIOR - BUMBLE'S ICE CREAM STAND - DAY

Oliver has returned to the stand -- empty bowl in hand.

OLIVER: Please, sir, I want some more.

BUMBLE: (Incredulous) WHAT!!!

OLIVER: Please, sir... I want some more... of my favourite flavour.

BUMBLE: More! ... of your favourite flavour!

OLIVER: Yes, sir.

BUMBLE: And what flavour might that be......

Nice work!

'Bumbles Three Flavors' franchise, alive and well!

'Please, sir, we want more of these clever panels.'

Next joke in this series: "please sir, can I have s'mores?" (cringe)

Up where I live, we call them creamies (or sometimes cree-mees). If you know your junkfood slang, you can find out where I live!

Glad you did it... because I didn't.
