yay - another great toon Maggie
btw }}clicky{{ although I'll be updating it soon so it won't be on the front page
taniwha says:
nice piccie maggie - also, I may be able to make it if it isn't too far from Milton keynes but can't log into the forum to say yes
MaggieD says:
D: just looked :) ... and thanks for the ELF link ....
Taniwha: I have tried on a few occassions to sign up for the Forum, but sadly, no luck so far .... but in my case it is probably my incompetence rather than any problems with the set up :(
taniwha says:
I was wondering if there was a temporary glitch in teh system. I'll try again later.
MaggieD says:
Yes it is and I seem to be promoting it ... a bit of a Nob blog ......
MaggieD says:
thing is, I do remember being in a pub like that some years ago ... beer glasses with Nobs on .... it is what inspired the cartoon ...
FilbertFox says:
I know what it is Maggie!!! Did you think i would say something rude? Not me, never........
BaggieBoy is looking forward to getting some Fox's Nob.
LOL ...loving it!!!
James thought it was great too he said can you mail him the full size version please??!
xx
MaggieD says:
FF .... BB being a good Brummie lad would no doubt have had a far amount of Fox's Nob in the past ......... dare I say that Fox's Nob does have a good head (see pic) .... there, I have said it for you ... ;-)
Wow wow wow! It's me! In turquoise, my favouritest colour! And the puppets! Immortalised! How exciting! And you are SO spot on with Dr Moody sneaking booze with a straw there!! LOL!!!
MaggieD says:
So glad no one is offended (so far) .....
Dr Moody and Nurse Booty are just ace .... I have done my research .... ;)
Sorry to say there is no high res version .... I just do the cartoons for the blog so they are hand drawn (for the most part) then scanned in in outline, then coloured in, adapted and added to in photoshop, and photoshop's default is 72 ppi .... have no idea how to change it so they look fine on screen ... have no idea how they print out ('cos I rarely do print them out) ....
FilbertFox says:
BB says he thinks that Fox's Nob is relatively new addition, he hasn't lived in Brum since he was a lad (a very long time ago now).
I have said it before and i will say it again - you are a very clever lady.
MaggieD says:
Why, thank you FF .... Fox's Nob might well be a new addition .... but a welcome one I am sure ... :)
Essitam says:
I've never heard of Fox's Nob??
I'm intrigued I may now need to go find some just to see what all the fuss is about!
JokerXL says:
Lovely job maggie!
Wish I could go and sample some Fox's nob too.
;-(
JokerXL says:
Ooh yes please!
I was driving around the York-Scarborough area last week, must have past about 5 or 6 pubs, cafe's and other places with "Fox" in the title.
Were you sending me subliminal messages?
;-)
FilbertFox says:
nah, i could never be that subtle, i am more a sledge hammer on the bonce or a knee in the knackers sort of a gal
Essitam says:
Highgate Brewery is in Walsall,
They used to serve Fox's Nob at the Wharf10 in Walsall.... James seems to think they don't do it anymore there and we may be hard pressed to find a pub in brum that will..The hunt is on...
[edit]
FOUND ONE.....City Tavern
Maybe as they serve food we could meet here??
Close to city centre if we get more than a few "small parties can be catered for??
What a great picture Maggie. Also, my thanks to Dhamaka for the link to ELF and to Alex,
MaggieD says:
Thanks folks ..... would be good if you did find some Fox's Nob .... you could do a re-enactment ..... ;-)
MaggieD says:
Dave's dad was a Brummie (in fact that was his nickname) .... so we are tempted to make the trip up for the weekend, revisiting roots and dropping into the Moblog meet .... will give it some serious thought ....
This is brilliant -- my sis as a cartoon, complete with friends and medical team!
hi...yep, we are going to try and make a weekend of it too.....and a bit of Foxes sounds just right :-)
MaggieD says:
Will use Fox's as an added incentive to get Dave to come along .....
Hotdog: I must say the Joint Stock is very impressive ....
Thanks STB and SLG .....
