I can't think of the name of the author, his comic strip, OR the book he wrote that I'm looking for! The cover of his book is a cartoon self portrait, and I think he has a star on his shirt? He also is wearing round glasses. This apparently is a great starter book for comic writers/illustrators, so I feel like it's probably popular. I know that his comic strip is popular as well. Please and thank you!

Hi
I wondered if maybe you could do something on colonial punishments :-) Have you heard of the stocks or the pillory? The stocks and the pillory were two of the punishments that were used in colonial times and they were pretty unpleasant for the criminals locked in them but lots of fun for everyone else :-)
The pillory was a wooden frame with holes in for your head and hands, and it was always set up in the town square, where everyone could see it. If you had been sentenced to a day in the pillory, you would be taken into the town square and you'd have to stand behind the pillory and bend forward a little. The top half of the pillory would be lifted up and you would have to put your head and hands in the holes in the wood. As soon as your head and hands were in position, the top half of the pillory would be lowered and locked in place, so that you couldn't get your head or hands out :-)
The stocks were always put next to the pillory and they had holes in for your hands and feet. If you had been sentenced to a day in the stocks, you had to sit on a wooden bench and stick your hands and feet right out in front of you, so that they could be locked in the holes in the frame. It was really humiliating to have to sit in the stocks or stand in the pillory, and people would come along to tease you, laugh at you, and make fun of you.
If you had been sentenced to a spell in the stocks or the pillory, you would normally be locked in for a whole day! There was always great excitement when it was announced that someone would be going in the stocks or the pillory and everyone would go along to the town square to watch the punishment!
The worst part of the punishment was that people were allowed to throw things at criminals in the stocks and the pillory! People used to keep a supply of rotten eggs and whenever they heard that someone was about to be put in the stocks or the pillory, they would put some of their rotten eggs in a basket and go along to the marketplace to hurl them at the poor criminal!
People in the stocks and the pillory would be pelted with all sorts of disgusting things - the smellier, the better! The most popular missiles - which happened to be the most unpleasant missiles to be pelted with :-) - were rotten eggs, bad fruit, mouldy vegetables, smelly fish, and various types of poo. Because they were so smelly and messy, dog poo, cow pats and horse manure were especially good for throwing at criminals in the stocks and the pillory, and people used to gather up the smelliest poo they could find and hurl it at the helpless victims :-)
By the end of the day, people in the stocks or the pillory would have been really dirty and smelly, and I'm sure they would have stunk for weeks after their punishment!
I thought that maybe you could have a scene in your comic in which some criminals are being punished in the stocks and the pillory. There could be a crowd standing around the criminals, making fun of them and pelting them with rotten eggs and mouldy fruit!
I hope that your project goes really well :-) If you need any more help or information, just email me :-) Good luck!
