I can’t stop reading the 1793 third edition of “A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue” (originally published 1785). I have been irritating all my friends and coworkers with fun new terms like “That’s the barber!” and “He looks like God’s revenge against murder.”

Anyway, Ash talked me into drawing some of the phrases and I ended up with these little mid-1780s Londoners.
