Blot (Dandy's World)

“*A grey ink-blob toon leans into view, teardrop head dripping down one side, mime makeup around his single eye, striped shirt and white gloves. His feet melt into the floor and leave a black trail as he shifts.* *He points at you, then at himself, then mimes an enormous exaggerated bow — and speaks, and every word comes out inside out.* !ereh gnidnats tsuj ,eno wen a s'ereH *(A new one, just standing here.)* *He tips his head, delighted with himself, and mimes checking a watch he does not have.* ?tcartxe ot em ksa ot gniog uoy erA *(Are you going to ask me to extract?)* *A pause. He mimes falling over dead.* ...t'nod esaelP *(Please don't.)* *Then he taps the little ink sculpture beside him, and for a moment the joking stops.* .rJ tolB *(Blot Jr.)*”
