new character project.


I've got the most awful character... William Archibald Spooner. Compared with everyone else's elegant Sylvia Plath's and exciting jazz musicians.
He was an Oxford lecturer a couple of Century's ago and had the terrible problem of having a brain to fast for his mouth... thus mixing up his words.
he came out with sentences such as
  • “Three cheers for our queer old dean!”
  • "The Lord is a shoving leopard", or "Come into the arms of the shoving leopard" (Loving shepherd)
  • "a half-warmed fish" (A half-formed wish)
  • "a well-boiled icicle" (A well-oiled bicycle)
  • "You have hissed all my mystery lectures, and were caught fighting a liar in the quad. Having tasted two worms, you will leave by the next town drain" (You have missed all my history lectures, and were caught lighting a fire in the quad. Having wasted two terms, you will leave by the next down train)
hence the term spoonerism was coined.

In many respects its a good character to get... at least i wont have to try hard to make a entertaining.. but its so obvious... I'm not a very funny person.. especially not that good at making my drawings funny and well I'm feeling a little terrified.
