I've been making my own memes since before it was all the rage with the millenials.....

From around 2001..... from the days when I was working on punch-ticket parking machines.....

Before MS Paint was available....I was doing cartoon style by hand.... this from around 1994....

A work colleague who had been there, seen that and done it all.

Same guy ...Dave Whitcombe, when I turned up at work one day in a newly purchased 1981 4-door Range Rover.... he had a story about his own one...which of course was bigger and better.... ....so this drawing was born...

In case anyone missed it ....the wrench that Dave is holding in the cartoon says "SnapOff" - that is a reference to another Dave story. He apparently had trouble undoing a bolt, so he used his SnapOn wrench with a cheater-bar (scaffold pole) and broke it. He couldn't understand how it broke...unbreakable supposedly but Dave broke one.

Same guy would write weird stuff in the Day Book .... @Kern Dog would have torn him to shreds. One incident involved a forklift truck that allegedly got out of control and needed servicing. Dave wrote in the shift book that it "Poped a whelly" ...instead of "popped a wheelie"

Poped a whelly was funny back then as it was closer in meaning to the Pontiff putting on rubber boots.

Poor grammar still eats at me.

I had to double-take that..... Mr Cranium popped into my head.
