So, there you go- another Christmas has been and gone.

Households getting back to normal.

But for a moment the world was a gentler place.

Rosy cheek'd children playing with hoop and stick.

Then dreams of the next day- snowmen and snowball fights.

Brisk walks and hot chocolate after.

Joy to the world.

Sorry- too many obscure video clips lately- so here's a cartoon.

This is the cartoon I cropped and amended for Private Eye to use for their spoof advert- as mentioned in a previous post.

Los Pollos Hermanos

So...'Breaking Bad'- best TV show ever? 

In my ever so humble opinion it's up there with the greats*.

Which is why I didn't mind when Private Eye asked if they could crop a cartoon I had sent to them- so they could use it for a spoof ad in their current Christmas edition.

Yar 'tis

*let us not forget 'Mary, Mungo and Midge', 'Pipkins', 'The Sullivans'.

All that scratching is making me itch

Yay! It's Christmas time- when the magazines have their festive special editions on sale.

The Spectator magazine has one of my cartoons in their jingle bell themed issue- here it is!

(Maybe that bloke had too many office parties)

Season's Greetings

It's almost Christmas- so here's a cartoon about a military dictator.

A few years back I was made redundant and found myself unemployed. In between job interviews (oh, OK- watching property renovation telly progs) I would enter competitions online. It was an attempt to win food and not starve.

I won a pair of padded cycling shorts.

Now I have won something again- and this time it's much more palatable (part of the prize was a bottle of gin).

One of my cartoons has been chosen by The Spectator as the winning entry for their '2013 Michael Heath Award for Cartooning'.

The theme for the award was 'Man in Motion', and this is my interpretation.

Huge thanks to The Spectator

no reason...*cough*

It's (almost) that most wonderful time of the year.

We are reminded of the important things in life- such as 'corporate strategy', and 'difficult decisions that address pressures on business'.

Yes! It's when companies announce redundancy plans- always seems to be around Christmas, doesn't it?

Bless them- they just want to make sure mums and dads can be at home and spend more time with the kids.
