# I feel like pointing this out to anyone who asks for money.
That the promise of giving the money back may be where they're going wrong.

# i believe that giving beggars money/food only perpetuates their plight.

# I just put myself in their shoes
more often than not I feel sorry for them....not too keen on being asked though....even some charities thrust a coin box in front of you....definite no no

# I believe they call that "chugging", when charity workers hassle you in the street.
It's deeply unpleasant, as if I'm being forced to care, and I'm not allowed to go until I do.

# he said lend
maybe he just wanted to show you that magic trick where a coin appears behind your ear ?

# Ah, but then you say
that's just the sound of seven pennies jingling together
Nice arts :) I assumed the background was Manchester for some reason...

# It was really loud too. I felt like a dick, but I laughed all the way home about it.
And it's loosely based off the high street in Preston. I do use Manchester a lot in my stuff though. A bit too much.

# Ahh, consistency is the key
For a school project I stood asking people questions off a clipboard in town... one guy got really angry when I asked him and said 'No! I'm really busy, I haven't got time!'
Then he stood idly waiting around for 10 minutes nearby until his friend arrived. The tool.

# Preston is bloody rife with charity types. It's worse than Manchester.
I'm not knocking it, it's a nice thing to be doing, but it means I have to take detours so I'm not stopped on my way to class.

And that's the key, if you say you haven't got time, get away with speed, don't hang about.

# I suppose if it said "Change" in the third panel instead
It could have been a bit of an existential, thoughtful, provoking look at panhandlers and how far 10p really goes these days.

But my bollocks DO jingle jingle.

# 3 pane comics with anthropomorphised animal characters?
Nice trampage. He appears to have a back-to-front hand though...

# I think it's the way the thumb points down
makes it look like a palm-down hand

# Ahh yes, I see.
I mean, I did it in about 5 minutes, and I'm shit at drawing hands... XD

EDIT: Had a go at editing it.

# Tis better
but the fingers are overlapping in the wrong direction. The fingers near the thumb should be in front of the fingers behind them.

Not being a cunt or nothing - just trying to help you improve your drawing, not that i know anything about drawing well!

# Considering I didn't use reference for this at all, I did rather well.
Drawing hands and feet, the bane of my life. ><

I do use reference usually, for the larger pictures.
(I helped save b3ta! Bourbon Fox Bourbon is a moron, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 20:37, archived)
# Not meaning to complicate things further
but for the problem for me is that the thumb points down. If I hold out my hand palm up the thumb sits sideways (so you can see the nail from a side-view), but it's above the palm.
(I helped save b3ta! Photoshop Bitch 2014 edition, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 21:13, archived)
# Again, reference and all that.
I could just lie and say the beggar got his hand stuck in a mangle or something, but I'll accept defeat on this one.

# I was walking in sunny Manchester one day
"'scuse me sir, me and my mates here are alcoholics and we just need 10p to get our next bottle of cider. I don't suppose, you could help us out could you mate?"

or something very like that. It was at least 20 years ago, but I don't think I'll ever forget it.
