But she didn’t want to be the view.

Next time be more specific.

That silly king…

Next!

What’s the difference between a peeping tom and somebody getting out of a bath?

One is rude and nosy, the other is nude and rosy.

Why couldn’t the peeping tom climb mountains?

Because he always peaked.

For me, not for someone else.

Since Lady Godiva has been mentioned in this strip, it may actually be Peeping Tom from the story of Lady Godiva. The real Lady Godiva was a granddaughter of King Canute.

At least he wasn’t joined by a peeping Dick and Harry…

ba dum tss

Yes, a view, not a viewer.

A view of a peeping tom.

I’m sorry but what did you expect to see out of a torquey hotel room? Krakatoa erupting? wildebeests frolicking on the lawn?

Good help is hard to fine!!!!!

Yup. That’s the problem with a “view”. You have to deal with the “viewers”.

This is like being invited to dinner, and you’re the dinner.

A room with a View, is not the same as a room with a Viewer! Viewing you instead of you viewing the view? Oh never mind….

Well, that rules out The King because he couldn’t reach the window to peep.

Oh the randomness of language!

How the opposite sex misinterprets a statement.

Helena Bonham Carter?

Introduce him to your boyfriend named derringer

Maybe shouldn’t stand in front of the window ……….. ;)

But her room is on the tenth floor.

Tom definitely found one…..

IRL, this would not be funny. But it is a cartoon, so it is.

My view, NOT someone elses view…

Reminds of a customer I had. I’d put up a large “Don’t touch” sign on top of some things, only to find this guy actively going through the items. When I asked him if he hadn’t seen the sign he said to me “I didn’t think it applied to me.” I kid you not. Never have forgotten it.

Another perspective in the finks empire.
