Parental Guidance

I have a couple of cartoons in the current Private Eye magazine.

They asked if they could tweak my original caption for this one- and I have to admit theirs is better.

Mine being, 'I never realised Granny and Grandad were so into sex and violence.'

This is what was printed.

Shameless promotion

Christmas will be upon us soon- before you know it!

Panic buy now!!

This looks a good gift option!!!

I am in it!!!!

Only one cartoon (boo!), but it's quite prominent (woo hoo!)

Tin Foil Hat

I write this blog from a cabin in the wilderness.

I don't have the internet. These posts are written on a typewriter and sent via snail mail to some bloke in Karachi who uploads them.

There are people out there who want to steal your digital soul.
I am off-grid.
They ain't stealing nuthin of mine!

Goddess on the mountain top

I really don't make things easy for myself with my cartoons sometimes.

Just finished one where I had to recreate a painting by Rubens.

I think I have said this before, but why can’t I just draw stickmen?

And it's probably not funny either.

The subject might be too niche- yet another art history related one.

I won't post it just yet.

In the meantime here is another niche, art related cartoon- it did not sell.

In my living room I have a print of The Rokeby Venus painting by Velazquez. It's also known as The toilet of Venus/ Venus at her toilet.

My childish sense of humour resulted in this cartoon.

"Zed's dead, baby- Zed's dead"

I work in a basement.

My job is in I.T. support, so it is the law that I must be housed in such a place.

It's not great. No natural light or air.

Once or twice a year the pipes from the toilets above us leak.

The odd mouse shows up every now n again to lighten the mood.

Anyway... apparently one of the most popular type of housing extensions (in London at least ) is the basement extension.

One day I wondered why this might be.

Here is a cartoon in the current Private Eye magazine.

And this is me...

News item in the UK last week: 

"Mediterranean diet better for the heart than taking statins, major study suggests"

Is this really new news?

Here's a cartoon I had rejected by everyone a year or so back.
