This cartoon is kind of a stretch, and I’m OK admitting that.
I don’t remember where I heard “throwing his voice,” but it’s a pretty short walk to “throwing his invoice,” and I scribbled the idea down.
The problem was, it wasn’t an obvious gag graphically, so, loathe as I am to do it, I had to go for the speech balloon and caption combo.
I think it turned out OK, and the expression on the guy on the right helps, but sometimes you just have to draw them up and see what happens.

Mark, I think it’s just too quiet around here this weekend — everybody is recovering from turkey coma in the U.S. Hence not many comments yet. 🙂

I am not in America, but I had a dish with turkey on Friday. This evening I had chili & a Margarita at Texas Long Horn restaurant in Gothenburg, Sweden.
I LOVE chili! Martin, if you’re ever out this way, lemme know. I’ll cook up a pot!

Mark: Thanks for the invitation! Where are you located? I will come and visit you. I am planning to visit some other cartoonists. John Cox & Allen Forkum.
I enjoyed the chili yesterday, but I did a mistake and poured Mad Dog’s Revenge Habanero and Chile Extract on it… 😉 It has a Scoville rating of 1,000,000. For a comparison, Tabasco sauce has about 50,000 on the “hotness” scale. I am a so called “chilehead”! 🙂
