the revenge of the SHOE GOBLIN - part 1

I spent all last night trying to come up with a new moth-related shirt idea, but I think it might be doomed. I might show it later, but I think maybe it is best if it never sees the light of day.

i love it. i like the poster 'shoes are like hats for feet'

It's part of a new campaign to raise shoe awareness.

'You wouldn't leave the house without a hat would you? Well it should be the same for shoes.'

Fab. As an aside, the little boy loves your book, we've read it twice together. Is he your youngest fan at 3 years old?

Ace. The Shoe Goblin's been gone too long. It's been sole-destroying. We've all been on our uppers. You're such a heel.

I like the "Shoe (Polish)" gag. There's a shop near my house that has a little handwritten sign in the window that says "Polish food", and I always momentarily think they're instructing me to come in and make with the duster.

Hee! Panel 4 is toppest.

lilo - I think you might have the youngest so far. Beaver and Steve can be enjoyed by all ages!
doc - oof! ouch! ow! Your three-pronged pun assault was too much! I think I might be bleeding internally.
yags - It makes you feel sorry for the Poles. Every time they declare their nationality I expect someone tries to rub them on their shoes.

he he platform shoes on a platform. *sniggers*


erudite baboon / Website (1.8.06 11:45)
Not that I want to spoil it, but there may be more shoe-related gags to come.


Herrschwebeflugfrosch / Website (1.8.06 11:54)
Hurrah! On a related note do you have any of those excellent books remaining for sale? I looked on the Beaver and Steve homepage for several seconds but couldn't see a large flashing sign saying "BUY THE BOOK" so I gave up. That led me back here like a sort of person that was led. Not lead. Led. A lead person would be a bit strange, not to mention poisonous and really heavy.

I wonder how many people have tried to buy the book but just given up in despair when they couldn't find out where to get it? I could be missing out on MILLIONS.

You should be able to find a button sying 'shop' at the top of the Beaver and Steve website which will take you to a place where you can give me money. Or alternatively you could just click here.

Beaver's opening speech brought a tear to my eye. '..any cause more noble..'. Surely the smartest thing he's ever said. Not that i'm obsessed with shoes in any way. Nope.


Kate / Website (1.8.06 12:51)
Does that shoe go with the biggest hat you made mention of last week?


cha0tic / Website (1.8.06 13:01)
If ever there is a Beaver & Steve convention of the type where inadequate saddoes dress up as their favourite character. I think my costume will be "The Shoe Goblin in disguise". Jing jing.

Oooh your spam trap is trying to say your name. ErbUr

That was me with the shoe thing. Obviously.


erudite baboon / Website (1.8.06 13:06)
cha0tic - I am teaching it to talk
kate - just let the hat go. I t was not meant for this world.
betty - I should have guessed.


cha0tic / Website (1.8.06 13:25)
Not really that obvious betty'. It could've been half the female population of 20six. (The other half is obsessed with bags)

Aw, look how excited Beaver is in the first panel! He looks like he's about to pop! I feel similarly about shoes.


Norah / Website (2.8.06 10:13)
That was the finest strip ever! Gagtastic.


Ratz (3.8.06 11:13)
With reference to MEAT! I saw this and thought of our beloved fairy:

A meatcake!


erudite baboon / Website (3.8.06 11:43)
That is at once the most beautiful and most disgusting thing I have ever seen.


ChintzyNoodle / Website (3.8.06 17:15)
This is one of the best (if not THE bestest) strips ever. There is so much I like in it, I need to lie down.
