Intro
Months and months ago, when I first started using FunStreak for experimenting with ideas, I trawled the web for as many usable idioms and well known sayings as I could find.I was looking at this list the other day and had been mulling over how to do the next cartoon. I'd chosen "Fighting Fire With Fire" and had always considered it should feature a fireman, maybe on some sort of fireman inititive day failure.
With this in mind I decided to look up similar idioms and maybe have a list:-
- Adding fuel to the fire
- Burn the midnight oil
- Feel the burn
- Keep the home fires burning
- Like a moth to the flame
- Baptism by fire
The list could be, "Sayings that don't help when putting out house fires"
It was OK, but I've created a few list based cartoons recently, so I shelved that idea.
Go For The Simple
In the end simple is king, I'd found a great bit of dialogue and just needed a line to explain what was going on. I could have mentioned the well known saying right then, but I chose not to. I think it's better for it. |
