Found these in a book under my bed that’s been there for at least 15 years.

Each of these page pairs has a different theme, seen bottom right.

I love these!

I want “if I’ve done anything wrong, I’m sorry. If I’ve done something right, I’m pleasantly surprised” on a T-shirt.

My fave old one is – “The beatings will continue until morale improves”.

Plenty more from Ashley Brilliant in the book, which happens to be his fourth book.

One in the explanatory text, rather than on the “Pot Shot” cartoons is:

“If you’re anything like me, you need all the worthless encouragement you can get”. Another good one for a T shirt.
