Absolutely love the UK comic book scene! Just in case anyone wasn't aware. It's a vibrant celebration of diversity and talent that never fails to inspire. And I'll keep doing what I can to support it. #UKComics

Hey, look who finally finished this silly clown comic about a silly clown? It's me, hi, I'm the artist, it's me 👋 #comics#IrishComicArtist#ScottishComicArtist#UKComics#IrishComics#ScottishComics#cartoons#Clowns#procreate

Page 1 Panel 1: A concerned ghostly white woman places her hand on a man's shoulder as he's applying white face paint. They both stand in a dreary blue void. Man: No really, I'm fine! Panel 2: The man has some clown makeup on and points to his face as he grins. The background is a festive multi coloured backdrop with swirly patterns. Man: As long as I smile Panel 3: The man enters a bright purplish room, wearing his full clown costume. Two ghostly white figures stand with party drinks and throw welcoming smiles at him. The man returns the smile and waves. Man: ...and I show up...
Page 2 Panel 1: The clown man is juggling balls in the same purplish room with a crowd of ghostly white party goers all enjoying the show. The clown man is smiling as he performs for the crowd. Man: ...an I put on a show... Panel 2: Close up of the clown man from below the eyes down to his shoulders. He is grinning and stands against a bright pink background. A single tear rolls down his cheek. Man: ...then maybe... Panel 3: Same composition as Panel 3, but the background is now blue and the man's grin has morphed into a sad face. All of the colour from his body is dripping like melted ice cream as his happy facade fades. Man: ...just maybe... Panel 4: We return to the dreary blue void from the first page of the comic. The clown manscolour has completely dripped off of him into a puddle on the floor. The man is crouched down and sobbing with his hands in his face as the woman he was with hugs him from behind. Man: ...it will all get better...won't it? End of comic

Seems there was a minor trope in Marilyn comics of the late 1950s where red-haired women throw fruit and/or veg at men calling them names. #UKcomics#Comics

The cover to Marilyn issue 202, dated January 24, 1959, in which a red-haired woman shouts "I said I'd throw something at the next person to call me carrots" at a man with a pear splattered on his jacket.
The cover to Marilyn issue 217, dated May 9, 1959, in which a man shouts from a window "Hi! You! Copper-knob!" at a red-haired lady, only for her to throw a cauliflower at him.
