LITTLE JIMMY : Mum

MUM : Not now. Can't you see I'm busy?

LITTLE JIMMY : But Mum, I need to know something.

MUM : OK then. What is it?

LITTLE JIMMY : Are we real?

MUM (LAUGHS) : Oh you are a silly boy. Of course we're real. Why did you come up with such a strange question?

LITTLE JIMMY : It's just that Bobby at school said something to me.

MUM : Oh yes? What was that then?

LITTLE JIMMY : He said that we're not real.

MUM : What exactly did he say?

LITTLE JIMMY : He said that we're just in a cartoon.

MUM: Why is that then?

LITTLE JIMMY : Well we only have 3 fingers on each hand.

MUM : Oh! Oh dear. I'd never noticed that before. He has got a point there.

Brilliant!

Yes, interesting. I'm liking this because it's very similar to one I did recently, with the old self awareness.

One of my favourite jokes in The Simpsons is where one of the characters, usually Skinner, points out plot holes or unnatural conversations which are used to push the story along.

So I like this David, although I would've liked to have made it more deeper by having them say,

"Mummy why am I so one dimensional?". Then I think that opens the door for a lot of mind f**king physics-philosophy based jokes. But it's 03:47AM and I'm rambling about bollocks!

So I'll just say, I like yours, it's short n snappy.

I had the idea - maybe subconsciously nicked it from somewhere - and wanted to write it a while ago.

It probably could've been better!

Great for a cartoon panel.

Haha, nice little sketch.

Lurrrrrrrrrrvely sketch David. xx

Very good indeed! A true story. You see I come from a very small village and I was the only kid at school whose parents weren't related in any way. I never fitted in, I only had the two arms and one penis... School sports day, the three-legged race was for individuals...

Just the one penis? Weird!!!

I have to adapt my history to fit the gag.
