That Wacky Recession comic

That Wacky Recession comic

This was inspired after my girlfriend wanted to know how much a dress was in a fancy schmancy boutique in Dublin. I asked the prim owner as she walked past and with even looking at us or stopping she hisses ‘Four Two Five’.

This all cleansing recession can only be a good thing. I want to see that shop in 2 years time when it’s selling big boxes of Daz and Capri-Suns to survive

    Haha! That Elanore is such a money-based whore! Incidentally, the other day some girl asked if she could suck me off and i hissed ‘Four Two Five’. The world is a small place.

  2. Andrew says:

    Great stuff! There’s a business plan for the fashion shops and sex shops on South William St.

  3. Superhilbo says:

    I look forward to the day when the so called ‘vintage boutiques’ stop with the hoop and reveal themselves as the 2nd hand shops or VDP shops that they are and be done with it…and drop their prissy prices.

  4. Bob Byrne says:

    Heh, Well said Hilbo. Disgracefully said Ronan!

    Yeah Andrew I don’t know, will sex shops survive the downturn? They charge ridiculous prices at the moment, mostly to older men scared of the internet I suppose. The dvds are all 40-60 quid.

    thats just made my day man… funny as fuck.

  6. Wonderful stuff Bob, love the limited colour palette on the Uncle Spunk Nugget strip. Although I hear the recession doesn’t like being referred to as ‘wacky’. It’s just a normal economic downturn sitting around in it’s Adidas t-shirt.

  7. david hitchcock says:

    Bob, This strip is a killer yet again! Laughing in the face of recession! Nice one:)

  8. Excellent, Bob. Excellent.

    Big boxes of Daz and Capri-Suns.
    I`ve never been able to figure out why every dodgy market stall and shop that sells those big boxes of Daz ALWAYS has shitloads of Capri-Suns as well.

    Lovely looking site by the way,Bobby.

  10. Bob Byrne says:

    Wahey! Comments! So it’s working. They look crap with that little icon though don’t they?
    Zing Thompson Zing.

    Big boxes of Daz and Capri Suns….I just don’t know.

  11. Aidan Courtney says:

    Cheers man for making me wet meself. Funny as hell. So friggin true and congrats on the new venture. Looking forward to tuning in on a regular basis. Class stuff.

  12. Gar B says:

    The Spazzmoind is working Bob.
    Great strips.

    The Great Daz/ Capri Sun Mystery explained: both products are made by the same company and are either knocked off or orders bought through a front shop and never paid for. Any shop’ll get a certain amount of credit before its cut off by the supplier and ya may as well order in the bukliest items ya can.
    Now if someone could expalin where the counterfiet Gillette razor blades come from, I’d be happy.

  13. I can clear that one up; you’ll find the rusty bastards at the Blackhorse Market in Inchicore, just make sure to go for your tetanus shots after using them…

    Bob, spot on as always bout the recession…

  14. Bob Byrne says:

    heh, nice one lads. I think the Daz and Capri Suns is because they can’t go out of date ya know?

  15. Red Star Revels says:

    I think Capri Suns are made by the huns. I’m with Bob - they never go out of date so you can buy lots. There was a shop around the corner from my gaf growin up that was run by a packistani. The smell of curry used to ruin everything, even shit like skittles. Capri Sonnes (Cheaper imported ones) were the only things impervious to the pong.

    True story.

  16. ger says:

    Fuckin funny Bob

  17. The Other Bob says:

    As funny and pointed as a poke in the eye. Why isn’t stuff like this in the irish Times?

  18. zamanoid says:

    Too right. Fuck the fuckers. Bout time.

  19. Bob Byrne says:

    Cheers lads. My stuff isn’t in the Irish Times because the editor is, quite frankly, a ninnyhammer of regal proportions. The Irish media are a pack of queers anyway.

  20. Eoin says:

    ha ha ha - great stuff bob …brought to mind that classic cheese burger scene from menace 2 society..

  21. Bob Byrne says:

    Good man Eoin! Surprisingly few people get the reference
