New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for June 02, 2010

And Oscar Wilde walks up to a fabulously dressed gentleman sitting at the bar and asks, “Would you like me to push your stool in for you?”

An’ da b’ar et ‘em.

Just imagine the whole audience is wearing no jewelry…

One supposedly true Wilde story was that he once asked an attractive woman if he made her a serious offer of a million pounds to go to bed with him, would she do so. She answered that since that would make her financially set for life, she probably would. He then asked, “How about five pounds?” She said, “Of course not. What do you think I am?” Wilde said, “Oh, we’ve already established that. Now it’s merely a matter of haggling over the price.”

I think that story is usually attributed to George Bernard Shaw. Now that would be an interesting character to add to the strip!

My high school latin teacher claimed it was Shaw

Sorry, I want the punchline to this one. I want the whole joke. It’s too… tantalizing

The Taming of Oscar Wilde, now that would make an interesting Python movie.

I can’t picture dear Wilde trying to seduce a woman under any circumstances, even humourous ones.

A blind man walks into a bar.

My uncle was a magician– he’d walk down the street and turn into a bar.

clang bamp Oscar ducked.

Wow, radish, he DESERVED an Oscar for his acting then, too.

…and said “Ow!”

A baby seal walks into a club…
