My other unicorn sketch

2 SCIENTISTS ARE BEING FROGMARCHED BY 2 SECURITY GUARDS DOWN A CORRIDOR AWAY FROM THEIR LAB

SCIENTIST1
I'm so sorry.

SCIENTIST2
Fake a unicorn? That's an easy way to a Noble prize?

SCIENTIST1
Look I'm really sorry.

SCIENTIST2
Just get a white horse and stick a horn on it.

SCIENTIST1
But I got confused.

A VET WALKS PAST DRAGGING A WHITE HORSE WITH A HORN SHOVED UP IT'S ARSE THE VET NOT THE HORSE HAS A SHOTGUN AND LOOKS SAD

How does a horse hold a shotgun?

In the words of the immortal Elvis Costello, I hope you're happy now,

Menacingly?

Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
when I hear the silly things that you say.

Why are there so many Unicorn sketches today? Is it national talk like a Unicorn day?

OK, it's not a great visual gag as a horn up a Horse's ass would not be very visible... what with the tail and the small size of the horn compared to a large size of the Horses's ass.

If you change it to someone looking at an X-Ray of the Horse's ass then it may be clearer what's going on. But visual gag's need to be extremely clear.

I don't think you need to kill the horse either, it's again just too much visually to take in during the short few seconds we're going to see the Horse (with horn up his ass) and sad scientist (with gun).

Everyone's got the horn.

Its quite good. Maybe an easier visual would be for the horn to be in the correct place but that it is a horn that clowns use. The black rubber musical horn.

Some scripts are written expressly for the cinema, some for TV, some for radio and some for the stage.

Some of the scripts posted on BCG are, I think, intended not for a specific medium but for the reader's mind - an arena wholly unrestricted by thoughts of cost or size or scale or by anything else.

The above sketch is a classic example and when, reading it, I don't think how it could be performed. I just let the images run through my mind and enjoy them.

It's a great follow-up to the unicorn sketch and the vet looking sad is a wonderful touch.

That Shoe Pie said.

A VET WALKS PAST PUSHING A TROLLEY A HORSE IS THERE UNDER A SHEET. A VAST HORN LIKE YOU WOULD FIND ON A DRAGON IS CLEARLY STICKING OUT FROM THE ARSE END

SOOTYJ FOLLOWS BEHIND SOLEMNLY CARRYING A SIGN WHICH READS "Look at the huge comedy horn stuck up the his poor dead horses arse."

Like most of my whackier stuff I cartoon strip or animation.
