Looking at the true meaning behind Little Jack Horner’s’ nursery rhyme we found that, Little Jack Horner was a Stewart to Richard Whiting, the Bishop of Glastonburg. It is said that during the 1500’s valuables were hidden in bizarre foods to trick thieves. In the nursery rhyme a fruit, the “plum” is used to symbolize a deed, which was included in one of the twelve pies sent out by Bishop Whiting to bribe the King. It just so happens that Little Jack wound up with the pie which had the deed to the Manor of Wells in it. It is not know whether Little Jack stole the pie or if it was given to him as a gift for helping convict the Bishop for treason against Rome. However, after receiving the deed it is said that Little Jack Horner and his family lived in the estate until the 20th century.
When choosing present day pictures for our comic strip we looked into a product which has been around for years but just recently turned into a hit As seen on T.V product, the “Snuggie”. We all know what a Snuggie is but let me remind you again, it’s a robe turned around, and instead of wrapping your front side it wraps around your back side. Whoever thought of turning a robe around was a “smart boy” and probably made a million dollars off his or her idea.
With this in mind we found a picture of a homeless man sitting on a street corner with what appears to be a robe turned around backwards on. In the next slide we found a picture of a man eating a pie matching up to the second line in our rhyme. Our third slide shows a set of three pictures, one being a man with his thumb down, next a pie, and lastly a plum illustrating that Little Jack put his thumb down in a pie and what did he find …a plum! Our last comic picture used was Ocho-Cinco a famous football player wearing a snuggie and holding the box it comes in with stacks of money displayed on both sides of him.
In our comic our plum was the product we know as a snuggie. We used this product because just like Little Jack he benefited by the deed he found in the pie. For our comic strip we were hoping to provide evidence that the homeless man benefited by marketing the robe he was wearing backwards as the As Seen on T.V product Snuggie.
