This sketch is part of our party collection! Which other parties do you like to see?

We have one last show of Hogwash on the 7th of April in Vicar Street in aid of the Red Cross
And our new show is now on sale for Edinburgh Fringe 2024 'Skittish'

Foil Arms and Hog

[sparky]

“Really are spineless” whoever came up with that one deserves the rest of the day off.

[Melhappens]

Pile of books in the corner: “We are the Unreads, our time will come”

[claire.thefirst]

Academic textbook: “I have so much potential but I cost a fortune and have never been read properly!”

[libiabrenda]

The Science Fiction book went to this party in another timeline, in a parallel universe, with a teletransportation device.

[FatNorthernBigot]

"SEIZE HIM!!!!" 😂 He couldn't just say "Get him" cos he's a fantasy novel. Very good!

[theeggtimertictic]

Dictionary and Thesaurus turn up and bump into a crosswords book. He would say 'I wonder could I have a word with you two' ... Dictionary could say 'what do you mean'? and then Theasarus could clarify by replying 'conversation, talk, chitchat, consultation, discussion and fade away.

[Ghlyshade]

I was half expecting Hog to show up as 'Graphic Novel' and look identical to 'Comic' but receive way more respect. While 'Comic' complains about how they are exactly the same.

[garyduell]

"I feel like people don't respect me"
"Well-observed"
That hits so subtly.

[AlvaKelly]

Dictionary comes in: "I have all the answers!"

[DietArchitect]

Paperback: "Sure I'm cheap and I'm fragile but, Darling, I'm an exquisite travel companion."

[joaopauloadlergomesdacosta]

Magazine tried to sneak into the party, but it was stopped at the door. After a brief discussion where it made its case, showing many pictures, it gave up and left.
It ended up going to the pub, where it comiserated while talking to its cousin Newspaper, who had also been refused entrance.

[miippi]

Now we just wait "Books throw a party: Second edition"

[leifroarmoldskred]

Even other books don't remember to invite Encyclopedia any more. 😢

[_Miri_]

poor second hand book feels used. 🥺
We prefer to say: pre loved 😘

[ananyachatterjee]

Foil deserves an oscar for the portrayal of the flip book 😂

[abbypage]

Imagine if a Kindle had shown up to the party! It would have been electric!!

[emilys.]

The bookworm and writer in me are squealing with delight. I love all the details and clever puns in this one, short story being smaller than the others, the flip book, the barcode and stamps on library, diary's costume. I could go on and on. Have a wonderful day!

[DashingPartyCrasher]

I'll never again think of a "dust jacket" in the same way 🤣

[unformedeight]

Dictionary getting drunk: "People only care about me when they want to know what someone else said"

Manual next to him: "I want to help, but everyone thinks they don't need me"

[Jim.Mohammad.Everyman]

Bible and Quran generating awkward silence was brilliant! 😂 This sketch is a gold mine!
