Austen Funnies

November 11, 2009

Alert Janeite Emily sent us a cartoon that made us giggle.

Alert Janeite Maria sent us a clipping from NewsBiscuit about an alarming rise in coquettish behavior among British young ladies–which the press are blaming on Jane Austen! Just imagine.

    ‘I know not, gentle sir,’ she replied, ‘but may he have a thousand pounds a year and a sizeable estate in Derbyshire!’ Of course I threw her arse in the cells, the cheeky @#$%&.’ HEHEHE!! :D

    NewsBiscuit comes through again!!

    Only a thousand pounds a year and a sizeable estate in Derbyshire? I think they left out a zero. ;-)

    Too funny. And other news journalist claim that Jane Austen has been overdone by the BBC et al. Even in jest, JA is still influencing and is everywhere!
