I was very glad when the Judge Dredd story Thoth mentions, with American advertising icons as the villains, finally got clearance to be reprinted several years ago. It's not only more hilarious and more relevant than ever, it's also beautifully drawn by Brian Bolland.

Wimpy was a character in the Popeye comic strip and cartoons. He is remembered for saying “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” In the comic strip he also said “Come over Sunday for a duck dinner. You bring the duck.”

I just want an honest weeks pay for an honest days work. - Steve Martin.

Those with rare enough skills could get that kind of pay deal.

Or if you were lucky enough to be a comic book artist in the early 90s, you could get a pay deal where you scratched out a few lines on paper every month, and spend the rest of your time playing video games, driving expensive cars, and eating fast food.

Big pockets! Unrealistic poses!!!

Doctor Who once made the joke that the Doctor’s pockets were bigger on the inside.

A black hole of money.

Tesseract Trousers were all the rage before men putting their hands in their pockets pulled them out as tentacles and claws due to a malfunction. For a while though, they really put the Pocket into Pocket Universe.

There was also the problem of where their real hands ended up.

Thing from the Addams Family was one example.

Arm Fall Off Boy is really Hand Fall Off Boy. The wrist to shoulder part is prosthetic and it's the Tesseract hands that are doing all the work there.

The hands that appear in all those DC flashbacks to the start of the universe? Tesseract hands.

Hand doubles for Green Lantern covers where it's just hands with power rings? Look no further.

Ted Cassidy who played Lurch in the Addams Family also was Thing. Although there was a stunt hand when Lurch and Thing had a scene together.

Orah Cormack's hands were insured for $100k in the 1930s. She was the hand double for a number of RKO stars.

What’s your job?

I am a hand double.

That would explain the prolific posting.

You should have seen me in my heyday!

Scarecrows have a lot of hay days.

Pay Day is a move by the Pokémon Meowth. It does damage and gives the player some money.

A cat's favourite instrument is either a Meowth Organ or a Mouse Organ.

They sure aren't fans of anything with catgut strings.

Musicians have shorter life spans. Some say it's the cold, damp halls in which they play. Others suggest that it's that they starve for their art. But it's mainly livestock revenge attacks. Oddly, not by cats since catgut is really cattle and horses and such.

Mostly sheep, I believe.

From Harold. He's that sheep over there under the elm. He's that most dangerous of animals, a clever sheep. He's the ring leader. He has realized that a sheep's life consists of standin' around for a few months and then bein' eaten. And that's a depressing prospect for an ambitious sheep. He's patently hit on the idea of escape.

There's really little difference between a flock of swans majestically sailing overhead and a flock of similarly white, yet more woolly, airborne sheep.

Of course, you can recognize a flock of seagulls by their distinctive hairstyles.
