Son of mine.

A GROUP OF CHRISTIAN PROTESTORS OUTSIDE AN ABORTION CLINIC PROTESTING.
A WOMAN WALKS ON SHE'S PREGNANT.
OMEN MUSIC PLAYS, SMOKE IS RELEASED THE LIGHTS TURN RED.

WOMAN
Excuse me is this family planning centre?

PROTESTOR1
Yes this is the abatoir of evil!

PROTESTOR2
Don't go through with it, we all make mistakes.

WOMAN
Well I didn't. I watched the Omen one night and I was practising my backwards reading with the Lords Prayer. Next thing I know I'm waking up covered in ectoplasm and pregnant.

PROTESTOR1
Sorry you read the Lords prayer backwards and got pregnant?

A RED FORKED TALE DROPS OUT THE FRONT OF HER DRESS, SHE HURRIEDLY POKES IT BACK.

WOMAN
That keeps happening. I didn't think being pregnant would be such a nuisance.

PROTESTOR2
Have there been other signs?

WOMAN
Well the other day the fetus ate my cat. I'd had Chester for years so I was pretty shocked to see his tale vanishing up my minge.

PROTESTOR1
Look I wouldn't usually say this but have you considered an abortion?

WOMAN
I thought you were against that sort of thing?

PROTESTOR2
Usually we would be. But you seem to be pregnant with the child of erm, erm him, he...

WOMAN
Who?

PROTESTOR1
Him!

THE PROTESTORS ARE STRUCK DEAD.
SATAN WALKS ON HE HAS A BUNCH OF ROSES AND A BASKET OF DEAD PUPPIES

SATAN
Baby I'm sorry please reconsider, I was a fool...

WOMAN
You don't phone, you don't text.

How does your mind work Sooty?

I didn't think that was going anywhere to start with and then it disappeared into a quite wonderful place!

Sooty... one of your best. Well constructed, excellent visuals, nice dialogue. The two Tail (or TALE in Sooty-ese) lines hold it together. Nice job.

Classic Sootj.

'A RED FORKED TALE DROPS OUT THE FRONT OF HER DRESS'

"Tale Of The Unexpected'

A fine sketch Sootyj.

This whole sketch grew from the following question.

What would an antiabortion campaigner say to a woman pregnant with the antichrist?

Glad you all liked it. My favourite sketches almost always come from question.
Do like the image of Satana as a peevish ex

This whole sketch grew from? Could you repeat that?

It's how I write almost all my stuff. For me a decent sketch needs a sort of seed at it's heart and everything grows from it.

I'm a farmer of comedy. Now if I can just get an EU agriculutral grant.

Your next sketch there, sootyj!

An excellent seed-question sooty, and nicely cultivated into a sketch-bush, or whatever.

I liked it, and I think your approach makes excellent sense.

Good sketch.
I like it a lot.

looking for something for my course I found this and thought I'll bump it

It's good Sooty, but I think there might be a contradiction in her implying that Satan has sex with her without her knowledge, to him turning up at the hospital saying 'Baby I'm sorry please reconsider, I was a fool...'it implies a relationship of some sort.

Maybe I've over-thought it though.

Well I liked it a lot until Ange pointed that out...

Just because she was impregnated without her knowledge by Satan, doesn't mean she doesn't want him to play a meaningful role in the life of their child. eg he sexual and parental relationships are diferent.
It's a metatextual topical gag on the nature of how relationships work. Whilst satirising how the child support agency can not understand the vagaries of human love.
