I was reading some of my Mam’s diary things over the weekend and thought of the short lived but hilarious comic I made of her. I thought nobody but my two bro’s would laugh at it but a friend tells me
it’s funny so here it is.
A similarly rushed comic can be found here.

What you didn’t know my Ma hated open spaces, was hooked on Bachs rescue remedy and had poor bowel control?

I laughed out loud AGAIN when I read it! Really loudly. I don’t what it is, but it tickles my funny bone more than anything in this whole damn crazy world.

I know a couple of people who get arts council funding for all kinds of things - like, even ridiculous training courses abroad and stuff like that.
It’s simply about knowing the right people.
If you’re willing to lower yourself to that level, I can put you in touch…

It seems they’ll give you money for anything once it’s not a comic. The established arts community have no concept of the comic as an artform. Bob your next project should be making a movie. An animated amperduke, you’d get funding for that. Just find a producer and director et voila. http://www.irishfilmboard.ie/funding_programmes/Frameworks/65.

Ah they’re all cunts. Nah, I can’t complain really because I never apply for money. But I definitely want to make a short movie, I have tonnes of cheap to film silent film in me.
Luke I’ll scan the article but won’t post it. I fucking HATE restaurants who have a shitty, sun worn framed article about themselves in the window. So you were in the Northside People,big deal! I hate it.
C. You were the comedy barometer on this one.

Haha he can’t complain, listen to the mac daddy of irish hatelists here.
Bob you should tell us more about your ma’s diaries if you could.
October 7th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Ah she was a nutty, romatic, drug addled witch who lived in multiple fantasy worlds simultaneously. She wrote bad poetry and like a million people I know, was always ‘writing her novel’. Her diaries are scant but a huge insight into her wacky life.
Expect a heart breaking bio-comic about my childhood in the next few years

Haha, that was great. I’ve never heard the term, “s**t my bags” before. Actually, I’ve never heard of Bach’s Rescue Remedy before either. Gee, I must live in a cardboard box or something. Gotta get out more.

Hey Frany! Thanks a bunch, stay tuned for loads more.
Man there are around 12 in-jokes in the comic that only 2 other people would get and THAT’s what makes it funny
