Spiral pasta

Spring is sprung

The answer lies in the soil, apparently.

Time to hit the garden centre?

Not for me- although this one looks like it could be a fun place to visit

A cartoon in last week's Private Eye.

Sunday night.
BBC1
Some things never change.

But at least they got rid of 'That's Life' years ago.
That theme tune still brings back the 'I've not done my homework yet!' terrors.

This cartoon is in the current Spectator.

Asmodeus

‘Tis a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

The early spring sunshine makes the drabness of winter a dim memory.

I am indoors drawing.

On BBC6 Music Jarvis Cocker is reading an excerpt from Bret Easton Ellis's book 'Lunar Park’, where the child's Terby doll is exhibiting disturbing demonic traits.

I look out through the patio doors to the garden.

A darkness envelopes me.

Next door's cat is outside.

He looks at me- his eyes burning with a hateful malevolence.

I normally like cats, but this one is not right in the head.

His name I know, but I refuse to acknowledge what his owners call him.

To me he is Asmodeus.

What's all this got to do with cartoons?

Well, here is a cat cartoon- I think it has appeared on the blog as a "here's one I couldn't sell".

It finally got published in Saga magazine this month- about 3 years after I drew it.

It's been a bit quiet on the cartoon front again.

I blame one of my colleagues for introducing me to 'VirtualDJ' software.

I won't inflict the sonic horrors I have created on you gentle blog readers.

In the meantime...

I have entered one of my cartoons to a cartoon competition.

Here:

Mine is in there somewhere.

Not sure my simple black n white line drawing fits in with the other colourful cartoons on show.

We shall see.

Goodbye Jumbo

Here's a rare beast- the lesser spotted new Len cartoon.

From this week's Spectator magazine.

Blast from the past

News report today- smoking in cars carrying children to become illegal in UK from Oct 1st.

Cartoon on this blog back in 2010- it appeared in The Spectator magazine:

Maybe I should send it in again- change the 'If' to 'when'.
Recycling is the green thing to do.
