SELLING FRUIT
ROUND THE PUBS.

DOING A RARE,
OLD TRADE AND ALL.

THAT YOUR MA PLAYING
PEEK-A-BOO IN THERE?

CALL HER OUT.

A PERSON OF ME
OWN GENERATION.

MA, WANT YOU TO MEET
A FRIEND OF MINE.

HENRY TWITE.

ASKED HOW I WAS,
DID YOU?

BEEN BETTER,
BEEN WORSE.

ALL RIGHT WITH YOU,
ME OLD CHINA?

AIN'T BAD, MR. TWITE.
COULD BE BETTER.

THIS IS FROM
YOUR HOPEFUL HEIR.

SENT BY
A DUTIFUL SON

WHO'S LOOKING
AFTER HIS MA

WHILE SHE'S STILL HERE
TO BE LOOKED AFTER.

YOU BUY THESE
FOR ME, SON?

UH...

LOOKS LIKE YOU MADE
A HIT THERE, SON.

YEAH, LOOKS LIKE
I DID. THANKS.

BOX OF DOLL'S EYES.

FOUND THEM
IN A SHIPMENT.

HEY, HEY.
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO?

STAY FOR TEA.

NO, NO! MEET ME ANY
NIGHT AT TIGER'S PLACE.

GIVE ME A LEG UP.

CAN'T DALLY
WITH FRIENDSHIP

WHEN MAKING A
LIVING'S IN THE AIR.

HO-HO! I SHOULD
SAY SO. COME ON.

LOVELY MAN, THAT.

HO-HO,
I SHOULD SAY SO.

NEVER HAD ANYTHING
LIKE THAT GIVE ME.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN
TUNE A PIANO FOR ME

WHEN IT'S PROMISED.

ANYONE SO THOUGHTLESS

OUGHT TO HAVE
THEIR BOTTOM SPANKED, MA.

I'LL BE OVER
IN A MINUTE.

JUST HAVE TO GET
ME MACHINERY.

NICE MAN, THAT TWITE.

BEST OF THE BEST.

HAD A QUIET SNIFF,
DID YOU?

LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT
OR I'LL HOWL, I WILL.

PROMISED TO TUNE
MA CHALMERS' PIANO.

SOMEONE IN THE SHOP.

HA HA!

WHAT DID DO YOU
WITH MY MILLIE WILSON?

YOUR MILLIE WILSON?

YOU SET THE DOG
ON HER.

YOU'RE AS DAFT
AS SHE IS.

COME HERE, MILLIE.

DIDN'T SHE SET
THE DOG ON YOU?

YES, SHE DID.
THE WHITE-HIM.

WISH I HAD,
THAT'S WHAT.

THAT'S YOUR TROUBLE,
MOTHER MOTT.

DON'T YOU "MOTHER
MOTT" ME, JANE SNOWDEN.

I'LL PUT YOU
IN THE GUTTER

IF YOU RAISE
YOUR VOICE TO ME.

I CAN SEE YOU DON'T
REALIZE WHAT'S INVOLVED.

NOT 3 OR 4,
BUT £500,

AND JUST FOR SELLING
STOLEN GOODS.

WHAT'S THE INCOME
OF YOUR SHOP

COMPARED WITH THAT?

SHOPLIFTING,
THAT'S PLAIN.

SAVE YOUR BREATH.

WE DO THE LIFTING.
YOU JUST DO THE SELLING.

THAT'S JUST LIKE WALKING
THROUGH AN ORCHARD

PICKING APPLES.

WHAT'S WRONG
ABOUT THAT?

NO BID. NO BID,
MRS. SNOWDEN.

YOU TIRE ME OUT,
YOU DO.

WELL, I HAVE
NOTHING MORE TO SAY.

I SHAN'T WASTE
ME TIME.

"THERE'S MA MOTT,"
I SAYS.

"LET HER MAKE ENOUGH

"TO LIVE OUT
HER LIFE IN PEACE,

"MAYBE LEAVE A BIT
FOR HER BOY.

GOOD OLD
MOTHER MOTT," I SAYS.

THERE'S THE GRATITUDE,
MILLIE-CALLED A THIEF.

SOMETHING FOR THE BOOK,
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

BUT I'VE GOT
NOTHING MORE TO SAY.

BUT IF YOU HAPPEN
TO CHANGE YOUR MIND,

YOU KNOW
WHERE I'LL BE.

£500, I SAYS.

NOT LESS.

LIKE ME, ERNIE?

A BIT.

THERE ARE THREE REASONS
WHY I DISLIKE DANCING.

ONE, I DON'T
DANCE GOOD ENOUGH.

TWO, IT'S TOO HOT.

AND THREE, WHAT'S
MORDINOY DOING HERE?

HE OWNS THIS PLACE.

WHAT MAKES THAT
TIE THE LAMB'S TAIL?

WANT TO STOP?

SUITS ME.

NOW DON'T YOU THINK
I KNOW THREE'S A CROWD?

HE INVITED HIMSELF.

IT'S NOT IMPORTANT.

I CAN HARDLY KEEP
MY HANDS OFF HIM.

LISTEN. 20 BOYS HERE
WOULD CARVE YOU UP

IF HE JUST
SAID THE WORD.

DON'T BE
SO ROMANTIC, ERNIE.

SAVE IT FOR ME.
THE EVENING'S YOUNG.

SIT DOWN NOW,
SHALL WE?

HOW ABOUT ME, ADA?
AM I NEXT?

LET ME REST. WHAT DO
YOU THINK I'M MADE OF?

I'LL FIND OUT
ONE OF THESE DAYS.

KIDS HIMSELF
SOMETHING CRUEL.

I LOVE THE WAY THOSE
SAXES COME OUT,

SORT OF
IN KID GLOVES

JUST LOUD ENOUGH
TO BE HEARD.

I WISH I COULD LIVE
OUT MY TIME LIKE THIS.

PERFECT PITCH DON'T HEAR
A WORD YOU'RE SAYING.

WHAT'S THIS STUFF
CALLED?

HA HA!

HA HA HA!

WHAT'S FUNNY?

I THOUGHT EVERYBODY OVER
16 KNEW WHAT CHAMPAGNE WAS.

I'LL BE 16
IN MARCH.

YOU'RE WELL-DEVELOPED
FOR A BOY.

I DON'T WANT
NO QUARRELS HERE.

QUARRELS? MOTT LIKES
ME, DON'T YOU, MOTT?

DON'T YOU LIKE ME?

WHY SHOULD
I LIKE YOU?

HALF A SPOONFUL OF LEMONADE
AND HE'S BANDY-LEGGED.

I LIKE
YOUR ATTITUDE, MOTT.

IT'LL KILL YOU
OR MAKE YOU.

BY THE WAY, ADA,
I BOUGHT THE FUNFAIR TODAY.

ADA.

I'VE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS.

HOW ABOUT
A TURN OR TWO?

I'M SORRY,
MR. MORDINOY.

MR. MORDINOY
DON'T MIND, SID.

HOW'S YOUR MA DOING
IN THAT SHOP OF HERS?

WHO TOLD YOU
ABOUT THAT?

OH, IT INTERESTED ME
TO FIND OUT.

WHY?

YOU'RE A CUT ABOVE THE USUAL
ARTICLE THAT FLOATS AROUND.

ONLY A CUT?

THERE'S THAT
ATTITUDE AGAIN.

ADA IS INTERESTED
IN YOU, IT SEEMS.

NOTHING SPECIAL.

AND I'M INTERESTED
IN ADA, VERY SPECIAL.

I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU, MOTT.

LIKE TO
STUFF YOUR POCKETS?

YOU KNOW WHERE ERMINGTON
STREET IS? TATTAMY'S GARAGE?

I'M THERE
ANY MORNING.

YOU'VE GOT TALENT
AND IMAGINATION.

WORK HARD FOR ME,

AND YOU'LL START
AT £50 A WEEK.

BREAKING WHOSE NECK?

DON'T YOU THINK
YOU'RE BEING RUDE?

I'VE BEEN AFTER ADA
TOO LONG TO LOSE HER.

SHE KNOWS IT.

NOW YOU KNOW IT.

SHE WON'T WEAR YOU,
SEEMS LIKE.

ADA WAS ALWAYS
A BIT GIDDY.

I RECALL A COUPLE OF
WEEKENDS AT BRIGHTON.

WE SHARED
ADJOINING ROOMS.

NOW, LOOK HERE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER? WHAT
ARE YOU INTERRUPTING ME FOR?

I REMEMBER
IT USED TO GIVE ME

A SPECIAL SORT OF PLEASURE
TO CHOOSE HER CLOTHES.

WAIT A MINUTE!

YOU'RE YOUNG
AND EXCITABLE, MOTT.

SIT DOWN.

ADA IS MRS. MORDINOY.

ERNIE.

ERNIE!

WAIT A MINUTE.

HA HA HA!

MRS. MORDINOY.

USED TO BE ME NAME.

WHAT DO YOU WANT? ME
LIFE HISTORY IN THE FLESH?

IT'S A FAMILY QUARREL.

IT ISN'T.

BE TWO YEARS NEXT MONTH WE'RE DIVORCED.

WON'T WASH, ADA, DUCKS.

WHAT WON'T WASH?

LESS SAID,
THE BETTER.

QUICK'S
THE WORD, THEN.

THERE'S THE DOOR.

MORNING, MA.

MORNING, SON.

WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU LAST NIGHT?

HIT BY A TRAIN.
HEAD-ON COLLISION.

OH, MY,
SHEEP'S HEART AGAIN?

ARE WE THAT POOR TO BE
EATING THE INSIDES OF SHEEP

DAY IN, DAY OUT?

MILLIONS
WORSE OFF, SON.

POOR PUTRID
MILLIONS.

WHAT'S THE PRICE
OF THIS ONE?

PERCY FLOOM AND FLO
LOOKING OVER WEDDING STUFF

ON HIS DAY OFF.

MAKE A LOVELY MATCH,
THEY WILL.

YES.
TO START A FIRE.

PROPER CASE,
AIN'T SHE?

NICE SENSIBLE HEAD ON HER, FOR ALL THAT.

HE'LL HAVE
A HAPPY LIFE.

BLINKING IDIOTS,
THE PAIR OF THEM.

GETTING MARRIED.

I'D LIKE TO SEE A NIPPER OR TWO OF YOURS

BEFORE I GET TOOK OFF.

SHAN'T BE HERE ALWAYS,
YOU KNOW.

YOU'LL HAVE THIS SHOP
FOR YOUR OWN.

YOU'RE ALL
FIXED UP FOR A HOME.

WHY DON'T
YOU LOOK AROUND?

HAD TOO MANY
LOOKS AROUND.

WHAT AN UGLY,
INSANITARY LIFE IT IS.

NEEDN'T BE.

BUT IT IS.

LOTS OF LOVE
IN YOU, ERNIE.

WANTS AN OBJECT,
SOMETHING TO LAVISH IT ON.

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOU, MA?

YOU'RE AN OBJECT.

FOR KEAT, PLEASE.

WHICH BOOK, NIPPER?

BOOT CLUB.

BOOT CLUB?

BOOTS, BOOTS, BOOTS.

SAVING FOR BOOTS?

YES, SIR, MR. MOTT.

THAT MAKES TWO AND
THRUPPENCE SO FAR, RIGHT?

HOW LONG'S IT TAKE
TO SAVE FOR THE BOOTS?

27 WEEKS, SIR.

YOUR MA GOES THREE
AND A TANNER ON HIM!

I CAN'T PAY YOU MORE
THAN WHAT THE BOOK SAYS.

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!

SORRY.

THROWING ME OUT,
ARE YOU?

NO. I CAN'T GIVE YOU
MORE THAN HALF A CROWN.

WELL, I'LL TAKE IT.

I'LL TELL YOUR MA ON YOU. YOU WAIT.

NO MATTER TO YOU WHAT WE
HAS TO GO THROUGH, DOES IT?

HERE'S YOUR MONEY.

JOEY?

HEY, LOVEY?

SPEAK TO YOUR MUM.
SPEAK TO HER, BOY.

HERE. YOU RECKON HE'S
ALL RIGHT, DO YOU, ERN?

HERE.

HERE, OLD GIRL.
HERE, OLD GIRL.

TAKE HALF A CROWN.

HERE'S JOEY.

WHAT'S UP NOW? PINCHED
SOMETHING, HAS SHE?

PEACE! THAT'S WHAT
I'M LOOKING FOR!

I WANT PEACE WITH HAPPY
HEARTS AND STRAIGHT BONES

WITHOUT DIRT
AND DISTRESS.

SURPRISES YOU,
DON'T IT?

PEACE! THAT'S WHAT
US MILLIONS WANT,

WITHOUT HAVING
TO SNATCH IT

FROM
THE SMALLER DOGS.

PEACE TO BE NOT A HOUND AND NOT A HARE,

BUT PEACE
WITH PRIDE,

TO HAVE A DECENT
HUMAN LIFE...

WITH ALL
THE TRIMMINGS.

WON'T FIND NOTHING
LIKE THAT IN THIS WORLD,

NOT IN OUR TIME, SON.

NO WAY TO BEAT IT.

THERE'S A WAY.

TRAVEL
WITH THE HOUNDS.

WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO?

A WALK AROUND.

NIPPER.

LEAVE NIPPER HERE.

RIGHT.

OPEN IT.

I DON'T WANT NO MORE TROUBLE IN MY LIFE.

I'VE HAD A BIG PACKET OF IT IN MY TIME.

NO MORE, ERN. NOT FROM
YOU AND NOT FROM JIM.

I'M LEAVING THERE AS SOON
AS I FIND ANOTHER JOB.

I WAS FEELING

AS IF I'D
JUST STARTED LIVING.

WERE YOU?

I OUGHT TO HATE YOU,
DIDN'T I?

BUT I DON'T.

WANT TO COME IN
HALF A MINUTE?

WANT ME TO?

THERE'S SOMETHING
I'D LIKE YOU TO SEE.

VERY MYSTERIOUS,
THE ROOM OF THE GIRL YOU LOVE.

YOURS?

YES.
THAT'S MY KIDDY.

THAT'S THE LITTLE GIRL
OF ALL MY DREAMS.

WHAT A WALLOP
YOU GIVE ME, ADA.

PUT YOUR FACE UP
HALF A MO.

PUT YOUR ARMS
AROUND ME.

AREN'T YOU HAPPY
TO SEE ME?

YES. YOU MAKE ME
VERY HAPPY,

BUT I
HAVE TO TELL YOU

I'M THINKING OF
GOING IN WITH MORDINOY.

I WANT MONEY. I DON'T
KNOW HOW TO GET IT SOONER.

REALLY, I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY
I EVER SEE YOU.

YOU'LL DO TIME.

HE'LL SEE YOU WILL,
JIM WILL.

I'M SORRY
I EVER SEE YOU.

MY EYE, WHAT A GIRL.

DON'T SHE EVER GET
TIRED OF SAYING GOOD-BYE?

THAT'S RIGHT.
WAKE MY KIDDY.

SORRY.

YOU GOT
ANY SENSE IN YOU?

I COULD
MURDER YOU MYSELF.

WHAT WOULD YOU
WANT ME FOR?

BE YOUR GIRL,
YOUR WIFE,

AND NEXT WEEK BE POKING YOU
BANANAS THROUGH THE BARS?

I SEE YOUR POINT.
I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO.

YOU DON'T TOUCH ME
EVER AGAIN!

ADA, DON'T DIE ON ME.

WHAT CAN I LOSE
IF I DO A JOB FOR HIM?

ME. DO YOU
HEAR THAT?

ME.

THE WORLD I WANT CAN BE
AS SMALL AS THIS ROOM,

BUT I HAVE TO KNOW
IT'S HERE TOMORROW, TOO.

YES. I'M AS OLD-FASHIONED
AS SEALING WAX.

I BELIEVE EVERY GIRL
SHOULD BE MARRIED,

BUT IT WANTS
A SOLID BASE,

NOT POLICEMEN
AND BEING SLASHED ABOUT.

TILE BATHS,
SILKS, AND JEWELS-

THAT'S WHY
I LEFT HIM.

I'LL ONLY START CRYING,
SO GIVE OVER NOW.

SAY GOOD-BYE.

I'LL SAY GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, ADA.

WHERE YOU GOING,
HAPPY FACE?

HERE TO SEE
MR. MORDINOY.

OH.

OH, JIM,
A CUSTOMER HERE!

THIS IS THE LAD
I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.

ERNIE,
THIS IS SLUSH YATLEY.

HOW'S SHE GO,
ERNIE BOY?

COSH SIMMONS.

HE NEVER
SHAKES HANDS.

IS ERNIE
A BUYER, JIM,

OR JOINING
THE RIDING ACADEMY?

JOINING THE ACADEMY.

HE'LL LEARN FROM YOU,
I HOPE,

OR MAYBE
TEACH YOU SOMETHING.

YOU CAN NEVER TELL
WITH MOTT.

THEN 7:00 TOMORROW MORNING, ERNIE BOY.

WE DON'T KEEP GENTLEMEN'S HOURS HERE.

OKEY-DOKE.

COME ON AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

HOW'S ADA?

DON'T SEE HER TOO OFTEN,
MR. MORDINOY.

THIS WAY, MOTT.

BUT NOTHING WON'T NEVER
TAKE THE PLACE OF ICE.

I WOULD
SAY THE SAME, MA.

WELL, I'VE NEVER SEEN
NOTHING TO BEAT THIS.

NEVER
ON LAND OR SEA.

MAKES ITS OWN ICE.
WHY, THAT'S MAGIC.

MONEY BELONGS
IN THE BANK.

IN THE BANK,
THAT'S WHERE YOU WANT IT.

STICKING IT ON THE WALL
WON'T GET YOU NOWHERE.

YOU'LL CATCH IT,
MY LAD,

IF YOU GO
BUYING ME ANY PRESENTS.

HA! COME ON, SON.

GOOD EVENING,
MRS. MOTT.

HA! JEALOUS.

SHE'S JEALOUS.

CLARA TATE'S
A COPYRIGHTED NUISANCE.

JUST THE SMELL OF HER
IS A MEAL.

HA HA HA!
HA HA HA!

HOW'S MY DAUGHTER?

SPLITTING HEADACHE.

GO OUT
AND SIT WITH IKE.

I'LL BRING YOU A GLASS
OF STOUT. WHERE'S NIPPER?

PUT UPSTAIRS
FOR THE NIGHT.

HAPPY, MA?

WHERE'D THE MONEY COME
FROM BOUGHT ALL THIS?

MONEY?

WHERE DOES
MONEY COME FROM, MA?

YOU EARN IT,
STEAL IT, FIND IT.

FIND YOURS
UNDER A TREE?

THAT'S IT, MA.

HOPE YOU WON'T FIND
ANY MORE, SON.

WORKING FOR JIM NOW,
AIN'T YOU?

YOU WERE DOWN AT THE CLUB LAST NIGHT...

DOING WHAT?

CAN I TRUST YOU NOW?

DO YOU
WANT ME TO SHOUT?

OH, BASH ME ONE.
GET IT OVER WITH.

BASH ME PROPER SO I
DON'T NEVER WAKE UP AGAIN.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE
IN FOR, YOU AND ME.

DON'T YOU SEE
I LOVE YOU?

YOU CAN'T EAT YOUR
CAKE AND HAVE IT, TOO.

ME OR HIM. IF IT'S ME, WE GO AWAY.

WHY GO AWAY?

HE WATCHED ME FROM THE
BALCONY OFFICE ALL AFTERNOON.

CALLED ME IN
AT SUPPERTIME,

YELLING LIKE 1:00.

I NEVER SEEN HIM LIKE THAT BEFORE
- JEALOUS.

I OWE
YOUR KIDDY A TOY.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

HE EATS
A FEW RAISINS

AND HAS US
DONE AWAY WITH.

OH, ADA, QUIET DOWN.
YOU TALK SO WILD.

I WON'T BE WILD
FAR AWAY.

THE SOONER WE WENT,
THE BETTER.

I'D HAVE MY KIDDY.
YOU'D HAVE ME.

ADA GIRL, ROME
WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY.

IT'S YES OR NO,
ERNIE MOTT.

NO TWO WAYS
ABOUT IT.

WHAT WORRIES YOU?
MY KIDDY?

I CAN LEAVE HER
WITH MY AUNT.

NO. IT'S NOT
YOUR KIDDY, ADA.

IT'S MY MA.
SHE'S BEEN TOOK QUEER.

SHE'S VERY ILL.
I COULDN'T LEAVE HER.

THAT'S THE END,
THEN.

NO. GIVE ME TIME
TO USE MY BRAIN!

WHAT'S THE USE?

ADA... LOOK.
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TONIGHT.

JUST GIVE ME A BIT OF TIME FOR A GIFT.

SEE ME HOME, THEN.

I'M FREEZING HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

JUST GIVE ME
TIME TO THINK.

DON'T BE AFRAID.

HE'LL WANT THREE CARS,
COSH BOY.

DONE.

WHERE'S MOTT, JIM?

WHERE IS MOTT?

DID I MISS
ANYTHING?

BUY YOURSELF
AN ALARM CLOCK.

COSH LIKES
EVERYTHING IN ORDER.

PUNCTUALITY IS THE
ESSENCE OF OUR BUSINESS.

IT'S SKINS TONIGHT.

SELNIC'S FUR SHOP
IN THE BROMPTON ROAD.

MEET ME HERE
AT 6:00.

OKEY-DOKE.

STROLL UP AND HAVE A LOOK IN DAYLIGHT.

OKEY-DOKE.

SOMETHING
IN YOUR EYE, MOTT?

WHAT?

SOMETHING
YOU WANTED TO SAY?

ME? NO, NOT A THING,
AT THE MOMENT.

OH, CIGARETTE?

NEVER SMOKE IN THE AFTERNOON. THANK YOU.

PRESENT FROM ME MA.

PLATINUM.

SILVER, SHE SAID.

PLATINUM.

YOUR MA
KNOWS WHAT'S WHAT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

SOMETHING
I DID WANT TO SAY.

A FRIEND OF MINE'S
IN TROUBLE.

COPPER?

GIRL.

HE LOVES A GIRL,
AND SHE LOVES HIM.

ALL HAPPY, THEN.

NO. THAT'S
THE TROUBLE.

A THIRD PARTY THERE, ACTING
LIKE A DOG IN THE MANGER.

THE GIRL DON'T LIKE
HIM, BUT HE'S A BIG BOY.

HE'S PROMISED TO
MAKE ENOUGH TROUBLE

FOR MY FRIEND
TO START A BUSINESS.

WHAT'S
YOUR FRIEND'S NAME?

NAME OF ERNIE.

OH, LIKE YOU.

WHAT'S
THE BIG BOY'S NAME?

NAME OF JIM,
LIKE YOU.

IF YOUR FRIEND'S AS
GOOD-LOOKING AS YOU,

WHAT'S HE WANT
TO GET MARRIED FOR?

WASTE OF TIME,
AIN'T IT?

JIM.

WHAT'S UP, TAZ?

I PAWNED A RUBY RING.
THE POLICE TOOK IT.

WHY?

STOLEN PROPERTY,
THEY SAID.

AND IS IT?

MY MARRIED SISTER
GIVE IT TO ME.

THE OLD LARK. IT'S BEEN WORKED BEFORE.

WARM UP A CAR.
GET COSH.

THANKS. THAT'S GRAND.

CAN'T TREAT THE FAMILY LIKE THAT.

WE'LL HAVE TO GO THERE AND SHOW THEM.

DON'T FIGURE YOU
WANT ME TO GO ALONG?

AIN'T YOU ONE OF
THE FAMILY ANYMORE?

NOW THEN,
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

WHAT'S YOUR GAME,
YOU SLIMY STINK?

WHAT DID I DO?

WHERE'S MY FRIEND'S
RUBY RING?

HERE'S THE TICKET.
HERE'S THE MONEY.

NOW, GO AND GET IT.

OH, THE RING.

I GIVE YOU MY OATH,
THE POLICE TOOK IT.

MY MR. LESSER
TOLD YOU THE TRUTH.

THE RING WAS
STOLEN PROPERTY.

YOU'RE A DIRTY,
CONNIVING, IGNORANT CROOK.

NIP OVER THE BACK,
TAZ.

YOU, TOO, COSH.
HAVE A LOOK AROUND.

GO WITH THEM, MOTT.

MOTT,
DON'T TAKE ALL DAY.

COME ON,
TAKE IT, TAKE IT!

HERE YOU ARE.

MY FEE FOR COMING.

COR! LOOK AT THESE
BEAUTIFUL WATCH CHAINS.

LOCKED. THE KEY'S
WHAT'S NEEDED HERE.

SEE ANYTHING OF MY RING YET, MOTT?

HMM.
NO, I DON'T.

I WISH MY BROTHER WAS HERE.

HE'S MISSING
ALL THE FUN!

HAD TO WALLOP
THE OLD BLOKE.

HERE IT IS.
ASK ME BROTHER.

THE VERY ONE
ME SISTER GIVE ME.

LUCKY BOY
FOUND HIS RING.

COME IN VERY HANDY
FOR THE SUNDAY COLLECTION.

LET'S GO.

HE FOUND IT, JIM.

YES? LET'S SEE.

THE VERY ONE
ME MARRIED SISTER GIVE ME.

YOUR MARRIED SISTER'S
GOT HER TASTE, TAZ BOY.

LISTEN. DIDN'T YOU SAY
THE RING WAS GONE?

THE BOY LIES.

NOW, STOP THAT STUPIDITY
AND LEAVE MY SHOP.

UH.

ONE'S STILL STANDING.

WHAT DO WE
DO WITH HIM?

I'LL SHOW YOU.

MY BROTHER'S
MISSING ALL THIS.

WATCH THIS, MOTT.
STYLE'S EVERYTHING.

OLD COSH WILL LEARN
YOU, WON'T YOU, COSH?

SOMEONE'S IN LINE
TO GET HIS HEAD TORE OFF!

NOW, WHO
WANTS IT NEXT?

STAY WHERE
YOU ARE, COSH.

LET'S GET OUT
OF HERE.

LISTEN, YIKYAK.

OPEN YOUR MOUTH,
AND I'LL FIX YOU RIGHT

AND YOUR FAMILIES, TOO.

SEE?

WHAT HAPPENED
IN THERE, MOTT?

TURNED YOUR STOMACH,
DID IT?

THINK HOW YOU'D FEEL

IF IT WAS
YOUR FRIEND'S GIRL.

WASHING
YOUR HANDS AGAIN?

10th TIME
YOU'VE DONE IT TONIGHT.

GOING FOR A STROLL?

MIGHT. WHY?

WISH YOU'D POST THIS
FOR ME TO IKE WEBBER.

IKE?

DON'T FORGET, NOW.

I WANT HIM TO PRICE A
LOVELY ANTIQUE PIECE FOR ME.

I SHAN'T FORGET, MA.

DON'T KNOW
WHO THAT COULD BE.

COME IN.

YOU'RE
IN TROUBLE, SON.

MORDINOY'S RIGHT-HAND MAN IS AFTER YOU.

MOSSBANKS HEARD IT DOWN
AT TIGER COLLIS' PLACE.

SOME SORT OF A PLAN
TO SLASH YOU ABOUT,

YOU AND SOME GIRL.

WHO'S THE GIRL?

NAME OF BRANTLIN.
ADA BRANTLIN.

CAN'T SAY
I KNOW THE NAME.

FORMER MRS. MORDINOY.

STONE THE CRYSTAL.

UH.

TELL YOU WHAT, DAD.

YOU WAIT
AT THE TUNNEL.

JUST HALF A MO.

FRIEND OF MINE.

NEEDS SOME ADVICE ON
TREATING HIS DOG'S EARS.

BE HOME LATE?

CAN'T SAY, MA.

SO LONG.

ERNIE, TAKE
NIPPER WITH YOU.

BYE, MA.

OY.

OUT OF TUNE.
AGONIZING.

JIM WOULD
LIKE TO SEE

YOU AND MISS BRANTLIN
UP IN HIS OFFICE.

WHO ELSE
IS UP THERE?

WE'RE GOING TO
THE LUCKY SEVEN CLUB.

EXPECT TROUBLE
WITH BERT MARK'S BOYS.

DON'T FORGET JIM.

ALMOST
SLIPPED MY MIND.

COUNT YOU AS
A SENSIBLE BOY.

BE CAREFUL.

WAIT AROUND
THE BACK, DAD.

WON'T BE TOO LONG.

VERY AGGRANOYING
THING-LOVE.

COME IN.

I THINK YOU ASKED
TO SEE ME, MORDINOY.

FASCINATING SYMBOLS.

YOU CAN'T BEAT
A MACHINE.

HOW'S THE GIRL,
BATTLER?

BEEN TRYING TO MAKE
THIS GIRL NERVOUS FOR YEARS.

NIGH ON IMPOSSIBLE, SEEMS.

I DON'T WANT
TO SIT DOWN.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT
TO MAKE HER NERVOUS?

I'M A MACHINE.
I AIN'T HUMAN.

YOU CAN'T BEAT ME.

BELIEVE
IN ASTROLOGY, MOTT?

NO.

NEITHER DO I, BUT IN
1912, THE TITANIC SANK.

ME FATHER
WAS ON HER.

AN OLD LADY TOLD HIM
IT WOULD SINK.

CLAIMED SHE READ IT
IN THE STARS.

COMING BACK TO YOU,

I'LL SINK YOU WORSE
THAN ANY TITANIC

IF YOU DON'T STOP
SEEING ADA.

SEE THAT IN THE STARS?

I SEEN IT
IN ME MIRROR.

AN OLD LADY TOLD ME
SOMETHING ONCE.

KNOW SOME FUNNY STORIES,
TELL THEM TO YOURSELF.

WHAT ABOUT ADA?

WHAT ABOUT HER?

THE HOLIDAY
IS OVER...

FOR BOTH OF YOU.

I DON'T WANT YOU TWO
MEETING AGAIN, SEE?

THAT'S THE WAY.
APPEAL TO ME.

I MIGHT BE PERSUADED.
I'M A REASONABLE MAN.

HELLO. WELL, DON'T RAISE
THE DUST, ROSSIE.

I'LL BE DOWN
IN 20 MINUTES.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME,
DON'T YOU?

GO TO THE FILMS IF
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR LOVE.

PERSONALLY,
I DON'T BELIEVE IN IT.

WHAT DO YOU
BELIEVE IN?

NOTHING.

SIMPLE, AIN'T IT?

NOTHING IN THE WHOLE,
WIDE WORLD.

AND DON'T
APPEAL TO ME.

I WON'T BE PERSUADED.

FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING,

WE'RE TAKING OUT
THE MARRIAGE LICENSE.

ARE WE?

I WONDER WHAT
THE WEATHERMAN

PROMISES
FOR TOMORROW.

LIKELY RAIN,
FOLLOWED BY SUICIDE IN BED.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

DAD?

VERDUN.

NOTHING STIRRING
OUT HERE, NOT A MOUSE.

DAD, I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET

THE FUTURE
MRS. ERNEST VERDUN MOTT.

SO THIS IS
THE FUTURE MRS. E.V.M.?

WELL, STONE
THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

I'M FOR IT.
STAY RIGHT HERE.

IT WANTS A CAB.
I SHOULD SAY SO.

DON'T BE NERVOUS,
BEETLES.

UP TO YOUR KNEES
IN DREAMS, AREN'T YOU?

WE'RE STARTING OFF TOMORROW

WITH 5 OR 6 POUNDS
AND A SUNNY PERSONALITY.

ARE WE?

AND SUPPOSING
I WENT OFF WITH JIM?

WHAT A THING TO SAY.

SUPPOSING I FLEW OFF
TO THE NORTH POLE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I'M SAYING ANYMORE.

ERNIE, DEAR, WHY DON'T
WE GO AWAY SOMEWHERE,

JUST THE TWO OF US?
PLEASE.

VERDUN.

RIGHT, DAD.

ERNIE, PLEASE.

COULDN'T DO IT, ADA.

GET IN THERE,
NIPPER.

NOW, YOU GO WITH ADA.

NOTHING WILL HARM YOU
WHILE THE DOG'S WITH YOU.

DAD, GO WITH HER, TOO.

PLEASURE.

WHERE ARE YOU
OFF TO?

TO SAY SOMETHING
TO MORDINOY

COULDN'T BE SAID
IN FRONT OF LADIES.

EVERY TIME YOU KISS ME,
IT GETS DEEPER.

DOES IT?

SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.

HOW MANY CARTRIDGES
DID YOU WANT?

8 OR 10
WILL BE ENOUGH.

LEND US
YOUR NEWSPAPER.

YEAH.

CAREFUL GOING OUT.

LEAVE IT TO ME.

OH, MOTT.

AH, THE BROTHERS
JONES.

GOOD EVENING.

NO OFFENSE
ABOUT ANYTHING, I HOPE.

NICE CAR.
STEAL IT?

PICKED IT UP
ON NEWMAN STREET.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY
DOWN TO THE CLUB.

UH-HUH. MEETING JIM
DOWN THERE?

YES. BAGS OF SPORT
THERE TONIGHT.

I'M IN THE MOOD
FOR SPORT TONIGHT.

DON'T YOU WANT
TO SIT IN THE FRONT?

I'LL BE MORE COMFORTABLE
BACK HERE.

BEEN A LONG DAY,
AIN'T IT?

THAT'S JUST WHAT
I WAS THINKING.

WATCH THE RED
LIGHT, TAZ.

COPPERS UP, TAZ.
RIGHT BEHIND US.

YOU'RE CRAZY.

HE'S RIGHT.
IT'S A POLICE CAR.

TAZ, DON'T SPARE
THE HORSES.

I'LL LOSE THEM
INSIDE FIVE MINUTES.

THE TUNNEL'S COMING.

PULL OVER.

ME FOOT'S FLAT
ON THE FLOOR.

STOP IMMEDIATELY.
THIS IS A POLICE CAR.

YOU AIN'T
LOST THEM, TAZ.

I'LL WEAR MY GRANNY'S HAT IF I CAN'T.

WE'RE GAINING, TAZ.
THEY'RE TOO HEAVY.

WE'LL DO IT.

YOU DONE THEM
PROPER STONE COLD.

THEY ALWAYS LOSE
IN THE STRETCH.

I'VE NOTICED IT
BEFORE.

BLIMEY!

GET THE REAR DOOR OPEN.

HERE, YOU.
YOU HURT?

COME ON OUT.
I WANT ALL OF YOU.

I GOT HIM.

HOLD ON TO HIM!

GET ME BROTHER OUT.
HE'S HURT.

COME ON, STEP LIVELY.
STEP LIVELY.

GET ME BROTHER OUT.
HE'S IN THERE!

HE'S HURT!

GET ME BROTHER OUT!
HE'S IN THERE! HE'S HURT!

GET ME BROTHER!

LOOK OUT FOR THE PETROL.
THE TANK'S ON FIRE!

GET BACK!

GET HIM OUT!

PLEASE
LET ME GET HIM!

LET ME GET HIM!
PLEASE!

LET ME GET HIM!

QUIET, KNOCKERS!

PLEASE!

SORRY. SOMEBODY
HAD TO DO THAT.

COME ON.
BRING HIM ALONG.

E FLAT.

WELL,
WHAT HAVE WE HERE?

NONE OF YOUR CHEAP,
NASTY SILVER OR GOLD, EH?

PLATINUM...
JUST A BARE PLATINUM.

YOU STILL WOULDN'T
CARE TO SAY A WORD OR TWO,

EITHER OF YOU?

A LITTLE POST CARD...
NOT POSTED.

ADDRESSED
TO I. WEBBER, ESQUIRE.

WELL, WE'LL SOON FIND OUT
WHO YOU ARE, MY LAD.

LUCAS, RING UP MR. WEBBER.
I'LL TALK TO HIM.

YES, SIR.

IKE, PAID THE BAIL,
DID YOU?

I SHAN'T FORGET YOU,
NOR WILL MA.

EVERYTHING WITH A KISS.

HOW'S MR. LESSER?

IN THE HOSPITAL.

I STOOD YOUR BAIL
FOR £100.

YOU'LL HAVE TO
BE AT BOW STREET

IN THE COURT
DAY AFTER TOMORROW, 9:15.

LISTEN, MR. MOTT,

YOU'RE FRYING YOURSELF
IN YOUR OWN FAT.

YOU REALIZE THAT?

YOU'LL NEED A FEW QUID
FOR INCIDENTALS.

ONE'S ENOUGH.
THANKS AGAIN.

AND NO MATTER
WHAT ANYONE SAYS,

YOUR MOTHER
IS A WONDERFUL WOMAN.

NO SIGN OF HIM YET?

NO.

WHO'S GOING TO
TELL HIM? ME OR YOU?

DON'T KNOW.

STALE AS AN OLD DEBT,
THEY ARE.

TRY THESE, THEN.

THEY'RE JUST
AS WORSE.

MY EYES TELL ME.

ME WHOLE STOCK
AIN'T STALE, IS IT?

DARESAY IT IS.

HERE HE IS NOW!
ERN! ERNIE!

COME IN, SON!
COME IN.

WHAT'S THIS?
A GATHERING OF THE CLANS?

NIPPER.

WHERE YOU BEEN
ALL NIGHT?

WHY? MA WORRIED
ABOUT ME?

BEEN IN A RIGHT STEW
ABOUT YOU, ALL OF US.

FRIEND OF YOURS
DROPPED IN.

I DON'T KNOW WHY.

EATING THROUGH
ME STOCK

LIKE A FLOCK OF MICE
ON WHEELS.

OFF WITH
YOUR WET COAT.

JUST BROUGHT THE DOG
BACK TO YOU, VERDUN.

YOUR MA'S GONE OUT
FOR A BIT.

WHERE HAVE
YOU BEEN, ERN?

OH, JUST SEEING HOW
THE OTHER HALF LIVES.

WHERE'D SHE GO?

NICE EGG AND SAUSAGE
LEFT OVER,

IF YOU CARE
TO TAKE IT.

WHERE DID MA GO,
AGGIE?

WHERE IS SHE?

SIT DOWN, SON.

PUT YOUR FEET UP.

WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, I'M IN BED,
AND A...

AND A WHAT?

COPPER COMES ALONG
AND GETS ME OUT

TO GO DOWN TO YOUR
HOUSE WITH HIM.

DOWN I GOES,

AND THERE'S A DOZEN
OF THEM.

DOZEN WHO?

COPPERS. YOUR MA'S
JUST SITTING THERE,

LETTING THEM HAVE
THE RUN OF THE HOUSE.

SHE CAN'T EXPLAIN
YOUR CIGARETTE CASE,

WHERE IT'S FROM.

THEN THEY FIND
SOME OTHER STUFF.

WHAT STUFF?

STUFF DRAGGED OUT
OF CUPBOARDS.

WHAT ABOUT MA?

YOUR MA TOLD ME
TO TELL YOU,

DON'T WORRY, SEE?

"DON'T WORRY, SEE"?
YES, BUT WHERE IS SHE?

THEY TOOK HER IN WITH MRS.
SNOWDEN AND THE OTHERS.

POOR GIRLS.

DONE ME NAILS
FOUR TIMES TODAY.

BIGGEST SHOPLIFTING GANG
THIS SIDE OF THE RIVER,

A COPPER SAID.

THEY GOT HER INSIDE,
YOU MEAN? PINCHED?

AH, LIFE IS
A QUEER COMPANION.

THERE'S A SMELL TO THESE SORT OF PLACES,

AN OFFICIAL SORT
OF SMELL.

FOLLOW HIM.

HE'LL TAKE YOU
DOWN THERE.

YOU'VE GOT
10 MINUTES.

BE HERE WHEN YOU COME BACK, VERDUN BOY.

HEY, WHAT'S THIS?

WHY, YOUR OLD GIRL'S
IN THE HOSPITAL HERE.

SHE IS?

THE SISTER WILL TELL YOU
EVERYTHING, I EXPECT.

HOW MUCH TIME
DO THEY GIVE HER?

IT MIGHT BE TONIGHT.
IT MIGHT BE A WEEK.

MRS. MOTT?

HERE'S YOUR SON
TO SEE YOU.

JUST 10 MINUTES,

AND YOU MUSTN'T
UPSET YOURSELF.

HOW'S ME DAUGHTER?

HELLO, ERNIE.

WHERE YOU COME FROM?

JUST THOUGHT
I'D POP IN,

HAVE A LOOK
AT YOU.

RAINING OUT?

WET AS WATER.

SEE IKE THIS MORNING?

YES.

WHAT I CAN'T
UNDERSTAND, MA,

IS WHAT ARE YOU
IN HERE FOR?

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

TIRED OUT.

MACHINERY RUN DOWN,
YOU KNOW.

IF YOU GET INTO
ANY TROUBLE, SEE IKE.

BEEN A GOOD
FRIEND TO ME.

WELL, DON'T BE
IN HERE LONG, MA.

I'M GOING TO GET
MARRIED, REMEMBER?

THAT'S RIGHT.

FIND A NICE GIRL
TO LOOK AFTER YOU,

A GOOD GIRL.

YES, MA.

SOMETHING STEADY...

NOTHING CHEAP.

WITH A HEAD
ON HER SHOULDERS.

LOVE ME, SON?

DISGRACED YOU.

DISGRACED ME, MA?

NO, MA.

DIDN'T
DISGRACE ME.

I'M YOUR SON
ERNIE MOTT,

THE BOY WHO NEEDS,
LOVES, WANTS YOU.

OUTSIDE NOW.

I'LL BE BACK
TOMORROW, MA.

BE QUIET AND GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.

I SEE IN THE PAPER
THAT A MAN IN PUTNEY

HAS A DOG
THAT BRINGS HOME

A TENNIS BALL
EACH DAY.

I WONDER
WHERE HE GETS IT.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING,
VERDUN BOY?

I'D BEST
BE OFF TO ADA'S.

SHE'S EXPECTING ME,
AND SHE'LL BE WORRIED.

GOT A NICE TOY
FOR HER KIDDY HERE.

SHE GAVE ME THAT TO
GIVE TO YOU LAST NIGHT,

ADA DID.

READ IT, DAD.

"DEAR ERNIE MOTT,

"I JUST
COULDN'T FACE IT.

"FOR YOUR SAKE AND MINE,

I'M GOING BACK
WITH JIM."

"THE ONLY OTHER CHOICE

"IS TO MAKE OUR BED
IN THE RIVER,

"AND THAT IS SOMETHING
I COULD NOT FACE.

"I TRIED TO DO DIFFERENT,

"BUT IT'S BEST THIS WAY
ALL AROUND.

"I HOPE AND PRAY

"YOU WILL FORGIVE
AND FORGET, ERNIE MOTT.

"SINCERELY,
ADA BRANTLIN.

P.S. PLEASE
EXCUSE PAPER."

STAND BACK.

LET THE MAN
SEE THE RABBIT.

AH. STOPPED RAINING.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING,
VERDUN BOY?

I'M DREAMING, DAD.

DREAMING
THE BETTER MAN.

,

WHAT A GO.

WHAT A RUM GO IT IS.

WHERE'S THAT
CLEAN HUMAN LIFE

THE BOOKS TELL US ABOUT?

WHEN'S THE WORLD
COMING OUT OF ITS MIDNIGHT?

WHEN DOES THE HUMAN SOUL
GET OFF ITS KNEES?

I'M TOO OLD, VERDUN,
TO TELL YOU THAT.

SOMETHING SHUDDERING
IN THE AIR THESE DAYS.

EVER NOTICE IT, SON?

YES, I HAVE, DAD.

SOMETIMES LATE
AT NIGHT I HEAR IT-

A SHUDDERING ECHO.

AND I HEAR IT SAY,

"WAKE UP. THE WORLD
NEEDS HAPPINESS."

WELL, THE WORLD
FINDS SOMETHING

IF IT NEEDS IT
BAD ENOUGH,

BUT SOMETIMES
IT TAKES A WAR.

SO IF THERE'S A BETTER WORLD TO BE MADE,

YOU YOUNG ONES WILL
HAVE TO MAKE IT.

THAT'S IT, DAD.

ONE THING'S LEFT.

I CAN SEE IT
PLAIN AS LONDON TOWN.

FIGHT WITH THE MEN

WHO WILL FIGHT
FOR A HUMAN WAY OF LIFE.

I SHOULD SAY SO.

ME FEET
ARE KILLING ME.

WELL, HERE'S WHERE
I LEAVE YOU.

LEAVE ME?

YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE ME,
YOU LOPSIDED OLD MUGGINS.

WELL,
SEE YOU SOONER.

HOW SOONER?

WHO KNOWS?

IT'S ALL WRITTEN
IN THE BOOK.

RIGHT, DAD.
