It’s a question of MUST not a question of MAYBE. We need to help get Jeremy’s book sold to as many people as possible.
Hey, c’mon it is an ideal Christmas gift and does not cost the earth. All you SAFFERS in UK and in mainland Europe, America and anywhere on Earth outside Madibaland where there are more than two of you (a mating or just a pomping pair) in the community, get your browser pointing here and place an order.
I do not want Jeremy Nell’s KAK-O-METER to have a single pixel of white in it. It must be a solid red line the week before Christmas.
I don’t suppose he told you that unless he sells the lot, he won’t be able to buy any Xmas gifts for his 5 kids, that wheelchair for Ouma that she might need someday in the future, the new thatch for the roof to stop the sun shining into the lounge directly onto the TV and spoiling the Solid Metal game he plays on the Playstation vI or to stop the rain pouring in and soaking Oom Stralie who goes around to read Dan Brown books to Ouma and also to keep her company.
Neither will he be able to buy that ring his girlfriend promised him he WOULD BUY for her or the clothes for the chilluns and the food hamper for the trip to the Cederberg and the raft for the Breede Rivier weekend cottage or ……..!
Buy the book. NOW

Hi Robert! I’ve been a bit scarce due to a lack of available MBs to gobble up surfing. And a smorgasbord of goodies on iScatterlings for me to read. With regards to your entry on Michael J Fox, I think anyone who slams a man who has only given the world fun and laughter and who appears to be a really nice person is a Super Pratt!
By the way, is this book available in shops? Would it be okay if I buy the book when I go to the Big City again?
Katt,
Nice to see you have called. Everyone has been scarce and left me thinking I’d said something wrong or smelled bad!
The book is not on the shelves and if demand does not pick up, the book publication gets pushed back to 2007 due to lack of pre-sale and pre-printrun demand.
To the publishers, Jeremy is an unknown and are being (my opinion) far too prudent and stringent in their terms of business with him. And so he has elected to self publish which incurs great printing costs.
Jeremy explains as follows:
Due to the publishing industry chugging along at the incredible speed of a sloth on a good day, combined with my ADD, I have proudly decided to show them all the finger, and to do it myself. This means that I need the (massive) capital required for independent publishing, for countrywide (and international) distribution. And at this point, I really want to thank the industry experts - especially Heather Parker Lewis - for their guidance and wisdom, without whom the last few months of preparation would have been futile.
I require a certain amount of pre-sales. Once I have received the exact amount needed (from the pre-sales), the first Urban Trash collection will be published, and those readers who pre-bought will have their copies signed by me, and posted to them. This will happen before the books hit the shelves around South Africa. The same readers will also be automatically included on the invite-list for the ultra sexy book launch.
I don’t have much time, either (see: Christmas season). This campaign has to be completed rapidly. And it has to work. If it doesn’t, I will reimburse each pre-buyer, followed by changing my occupation to a brick layer. I have opened a bank account especially for the pre-sales.
Now knowing this can you find it in your heart to support this talented doos from Kaapstad?! I can and will be sending my dosh via Moneygram to him. Sending the payment from UK or EU will incure bank fees by the stupid clearing house!!! Fix it CaZ.
So I will send him the price of the book via a source that does not deduct a fee and then not credit the account with my reduced fees for 5 more days while they earn interest.
Now c’mon everyone - go buy the book and get it signed by Jeremy. He will make an ultra-kak bricklayer, so let’s keep him on the cartoon lark for a few more years at least! ;0)
Thanks guys. I am the cartoonist, and am needing as much support as possible. Check out the site, and do your thing.
funny stuff boys…will dig in the pocket and see what I can find amongst the pre-xmas moths.
Only if you say kak again, Bertie. You make it sound so good. Are you missing home, by any chance?
Dolce,
If you wish I willl scream the word out loud but alas, I am restricted to a finite number of repetitions.
I can say “please write more posts at your blog” and “please post here more often” but it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as kak does hey?!
Oops!
Ja, ja Bertie…I’m trying, I’m trying. But that muse, she’s fighting with the work gods at the moment! Maybe the christmas fairy will bring me a home PC I can play on (oh god)…..
That mating/pomping pair thing has completely cracked me up. With a dad in Australia and other exSef friends spread far and wide, this one’s going onto the Xmas list…
