Finally had a couple of sales again- phew! But, as they won’t see print for a while here’s another one of my rejects. It’s probably one of those too much ink and not enough think cartoons- I like the drawing, but I guess the gag isn’t that great. Probably too niche for the non car mag market.
In case you don’t get it- look- there’s oil underneath the car- the bloke is talking about a British sports car (you know they don’t work- let’s be honest)- there’s a fan in the garden – their hair is blowing about!!
Oh, please yourselves.
Your drawings are great; definitely not the reason your cartoons don't sell. Keep up the good work, that man :)
ReplyDeletejust need to be funny- that's all...
ReplyDeleteI think you've highlighted yourself the problem: too much for the reader to register. I didn't spot the oil till you mentioned it. Nice drawing though (I'm rubbish at cars!) and I particularly like the Madness reference in the blog title!
ReplyDeletegood spot re the Madness track! - maybe i should put as much thought into the toons as I do with these titles...
ReplyDeleteLen, you should take inspiration from my jokes on Facebook ... you know it makes sense ;)
ReplyDeletethat, Martin, is the funniest thing you've managed to come up with so far
