Ever wondered what goes on when the proprietor of secondhand record shop at the butt end of the world chucks in the towel and goes back to having a life??
True story- we have a friend who practices some religion that requires her to wear a turban (or so she says, she’s a bit of a flake, loveable flake, but flake none the less). So Jeff use to tease her and say she would get cancer if she wore that turban because she did indeed look like a cancer victim. Six months later… cancer. Nearly died. But she survived and STILL wears that damn turban. Maybe she needs a teddy bear instead. The bear could wear the turban, see?
911 seems to have changed everything. And nothing. People may be quicker to take offence to a strip like this, but does that mean that one shouldn’t draw such things? Kinda like how they removed that scene with the Twin Towers from that Spiderman flick. It was done due to issues of sensitivity, and as such ought to be applauded, but just how far do we go before we’re not allowed to touch on anything any more for fear of offending somebody? Humour by its very nature is irreverent anyway. Should we stop laughing about things? I don’t think I want to live in a world like that. (Sorry, bit of a mind flow happening there.)
….laugh at everything…till the majority, moral or not, tells you shouldn’t…(then let your own moral compass tell you what’s right…hopefully it passed it’s last warrant of fitness with flying colours)….
You posted it… you live with the comment-quences….
I slay myself with gobs of chocolate. I got an actual chocolate treat tonight so I’m a bit giddy. (I’ve been off chocolate for a few weeks- it’s been hell.)
I sure have enjoyed it!
One of the best things about this here interweb is meeting cool artistic folks named Tony.
Tony rhymes with pony so you know it’s a good name.
Pam rhymes with lamb which prompted a classmate in first grade to call me ‘Pam the Lamb’ to which another classmate, Henry, AKA Sedgewich USA, to say ‘Dam Pam’.
Pamo, which has the added ‘o’, like in Tony, is a much improved name. Rhymes with slamo, flamo, camo, and banana (in some languages).
The header is hilarious!
Post 911- would you draw this one today?
It’s easy to take all your detail for granted- it flows.
…yes, I’d draw it today but Sedge’ would be wearing a turban instead of the mouse ears… : 0
Perhaps Teddy needs the turban more. Har har.
…he probably already has one as a “sold-seperately” accessory! …

Great point Tony! Of course, I think we could argue people may take offense at the entire Sedgewich series….
Gawd… I slay myself! Hahahahahahahaha!
…slay yourself?…self immolation or bomb belt?…
…(am beginnig to think that the title should have been “written & drawn pre911”, which is actually what I was intending to convey!!!)…
…(but debate is healthy).

..if the consequences for all my posts were disjointed conversations with your good self and the other Tony I could post happy man!…
I sure have enjoyed it!

…er…Pamo..Lambo…ding dong?….
LOL!!! Okay- Pamo out. See you on the flip side.
Looking forward as always to more Sedgwich!
Have a great day my friend.
…you too…my day about done in the shop…off to draw or garden or something…see you Tuesday…same bored place…same bored channel…
Ooh I missed all the banter, damo.
Loving the swap, 🙂
When I read this during work today Frag, I laughed so hard I got stares. (OK- I get stares anyway, but these were extra stares.)
…that’s why I come to work early…in a closed shop, no one can hear you laughing out loud …
The poor teddy goes through a lot to keep Sedgewick happy. I could picture this really happening with some bratty kid
