When Bif sent me the text for this cartoon I thought "you b*stard. How much can you fit in one cartoon? Four horses, four people and an army it would seem... jeez Bif why didn't you throw in the seven dwarfs and a partridge in a pear tree?"

So this one was a bit of a challenge to envisage and produce, I think I just about managed it... I hope anyway. If it lacks something it's through my efforts not to have it look too crowded - I just hope I didn't take from the impact of the joke in doing so.

The punchline is hard to understand. Maybe you should proofread it again.

How would you write it? Bif, you're fired.
Thanks,

Good, it was all getting to be a bit of a pain anyway. I'm sorry, I don't see how that line is hard to understand. It's a pretty standard sentence structure and there's no other way I can think of doing it without diminishing the joke. We do actually put a lot of time into getting the captions right.

I don't think I'm familiar with that usage of 'paid'. I think you mean something like: 'A failure to move with the times outmoded the much vaunted plans of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.'

Is that what you meant?

Interesting, 'put paid to' must be used more around our parts than anywhere else. Dictionary.com says it's 'chiefly british' - we're Irish, so maybe it's just this side of Europe... are you American?
