IT SEEMS TO ME

 

 

 

It can’t be right it seems to me

Why do they spell sea ‘s’ ‘e‘ ‘a’ and yet pronounce it ‘c’ ?

 

 

Many swim and do a pee

so will you kindly explain to me why there is no ‘p’ in sea.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks T. This cartoon is in the January edition of the magazine.

      • TobaniNataiella

        You are very welcome, enjoy your day

        Oops there could be 'p' in sea from some naughty polluters. You know Miss Poll Lute?!

        • Michael Edwards

          I know Miss Po Lute - don't take the p**s out of her.

        • sorenbarrett

          That would make it sepia and when I see that color in my pool it's time to add more chlorine. Fun and such a great write using the play on language.

          • Michael Edwards

            a sepia sea - has a ring to it. Thanks S

            Would that be pronounced "say" instead? The IPA is also kind of off specially it seems where diphthongs are concerned. Not going to the psea in the winter though... perhaps once. oh, btw, loving that cartoon there, has the cross feel between Snoopy, Calvin, and an editorial cartoon. Hope to see more (not sea) of your illustration/cartoon/art works down the road. Seymour can be a character based on today's post as well... just thinking out loud.

              Pronounced cee I guess - off to dip my thong in the waves - by the way the kind of IPA I prefer comes in cans - heigh ho - cheers muchly argios - much appreciate your looking in.

                Well dear Michael and Stanley, you sure put a new spin on Christmas Balls 🀣 I absolutely love your art, but I may be slightly jealous if Stanley is now your muse πŸ˜‚ biggest of hugs to you both. πŸŽ„ πŸ€

                I think Harper Valley had one?

                • Michael Edwards

                  Harper Valley? Sorry but I'm a simple Brit must look it up.

                  • 2781

                    Down here it's a P&C, in America it might be pca?

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Now was that really necessary? I remember as a kid we had a hound who looked like he might want to put it about a bit, but after Mum gave him a good talking to and completed the chain link fence around our garden, he mostly kept himself to himself.....

                    • Michael Edwards

                      hard to say if it was really necessary he's okay now - I live in a middle England village and have a wall enclosed garden (a yard ) but he was a bit frisky with other people and dogs which could be a little difficult at times. Cheers DD

                      Perfect! Seriously. Perfect! πŸŒΉπŸ‘

                    • Teddy.15

                      Stanley came in
                      from the dark
                      to lighten Mr Edward's world
                      And am sure glad he did. ❀️

                      • Michael Edwards

                        He’s rather special - a loving fella but a bit on of a monkey at times. He’s a big hit at the village school where the little ones love him and come running out to give him a stroke - he’s got that cute look but he knows it - bit like me 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

                        • Teddy.15

                          lol ❀️

                        • Teddy.15

                          I'm afraid my limericks have hit a new low lol

                          There was an young dog called Stanley
                          Who only liked eating Bramley's
                          One day in a pie
                          He lost one of his eyes
                          Because he was feeling so randy

                          Well as you know I have no shame so fill your boots with this feast dearest Michael 🌹 lol

                          • Michael Edwards

                            There was a young dog called Stanley
                            who was full of life and quite randy
                            but he had the chop
                            β€˜twas a painful lop
                            and now he’s not feeling so manly.

                            • Teddy.15

                              LoL 🀣 oh yes Michael and his muse lol

                            • Goldfinch60

                              The same reason there is no K in Michael Michael. LOL

                              Andy

                              • Michael Edwards
