Steed is a damn genius and I want to break every one of his pens.

Thank the Lard I wasn’t alone in not getting the loo joke. Oh dear….

I do think it's the joke-teller's fault in this case rather than the joke-receivers!! x

I’m suffering from FOMO now because I don’t get the loo joke, even though I’ve read it three times. Please can someone explain?! Arrrgghhh 🫥

Tor Freeman's avatar

Haha not your fault, if you didn't get it I haven't done it right!! Well,I'm asking where "it" is, ie the loo - and he's pretending "it" refers to that which a man would use to go to the loo. And now I've made it much worse by explaining it! 😂

🤣🤣🤣 thank you for explaining and I totally get ‘it’ now! Sorry for tripping over your joke. Your posts and artwork are really fab 👏🙌🙌

I just guffawed at that long neck cartoon. 😂👌

Yeah, Steed--I can't even. My favorite of all time is the two cops investigating a horrific crime scene in an apartment, and the caption reads: "His final internet search was 'insane monkey how make calm down.'" GENIUS. Can I add also, I was really glad to see a ReposiTORy--some good news among all the ick!

Tor Freeman's avatar

I didn't know that one and just googled it - SO good!! And thanks Suzan, that's really nice to hear!

Suzan Colón's avatar

OMG, it's the best, right?? I mean, trying to pick a best Steed--can't, won't--but it's my fave. So glad you like it! And yes, The ReposiTORy is much needed, so thank you.

Tor Freeman's avatar

I think my fave is either all those people on a lawn with a sign saying “beware of the bastards” or the naked couple in bed and the woman is lighting a cig and saying “you can’t blame everything on the crows” 😂😂😂

Suzan Colón's avatar

LOLLLLL the crows!! I didn't know that one--have to look that up!

Reading this eye wateringly funny post this morning was the best way to start into my day. Just brilliant. Thanks, Tor!

Tor Freeman's avatar

Thank you Lena!

Ah this was delightful. And it’s a real talent to remember jokes- I just got several texts from my best friend that were quotes I’d said that she’s saved, but that I’d totally forgotten. It’s a gift that keeps giving.

Tor Freeman's avatar

Thanks Angie. Your friend is doing you a great service, that's so nice! Now I want someone to follow me around and write down my hilarious bon mots... ;-)

I kid you not, I was thinking, "Wait, I haven't gotten a ReposiTORy email in a little bit..." and then this came. You are right on time. I am being crushed under the weight of a bureaucratic committee-based project that is wringing the joy out of my day. The long-necked Wurthering Heights drawing gave me a healthy cackle I needed to bear the world. A cackle a day keeps (pretty much everybody including) the doctor away....thank you Tor!

Tor Freeman's avatar

Thanks Jess, this is so nice to hear! I'm sorry to hear about that project, it sounds heavy and I hope it winds to a close soon! I sympathise - although I'm enjoying my current work, the amount of it is weighing a bit...

Jess Ruliffson's avatar

Your internet fandom is rooting you on!

LOLOLOLOLOL at Will's joke. Brilliant. I hope I remember that for the rest of my life any time anyone asks where the loo is and I get to laugh secretly at this excellent joke that didn't even happen to me.

Tor Freeman's avatar

Haha thanks Katie, hooray!

The way you drew your reaction to Steed is my reaction to much of the stuff on Substack...

jane forster's avatar

Well as usual Tor, you made me laugh and made my day!

Thoroughly loved this, and guffawed at both the long neck and the loo joke, best start to the day, thankyou
