“Optimists say the cup is half full Pessimists say the cup is half empty.
Julia doesn’t care as long as the half that’s there is coffee.”

Airline food’s bad because something has to make hospital food look good.

Forget to pay the exorcist & be repossessed.
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.
