Forget to pay the exorcist & be repossessed.
Author: A Joke A Day
Death’s Ghostwriter
So ironic that I’m now DEATH‘s ghostwriter.
On Hiatus
When I started doing this series 9 months ago I said that Joke A Day was to encourage me, not a promise. Despite that I have posted one a day since then.
Stuff’s been happening in my life leaving me exhausted & I find myself needing a short break during which I’ll post updated versions of the early memes. Facebook & Instagram run a couple of weeks behind the series on here so I’ll need to start posting new superheroes / villains here no later than 19 November to not break the series there.
When I’m back I already have the text for Subtext, Captain Obvious, Plasticor & Magneta ready to roll so I just need to create the graphics. There’s about another hundred in draft to fix the text and create the graphics.
