Ho! Ho! Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh!

Here's the special Christmas entry on the CCGB forum thingy. They wouldn't let me post it at Easter for some reason. Have a great Christmas everyone, and thanks for reading the blog over the last year. Probably the last entry this year, so Happy New Year as well. Here's to 2011!

Prancing on Ice.

 

I haven't been able to do much in the way of cartooning over the last couple of weeks. I'm not entirely sure what I've been so busy doing, but I do know it all got a little hectic back there for a time. I have removed the dust from the Cintiq and given the cartoon contest another go. As usual, I didn't have a clue what to draw, until I started drawing it. Always good to be inspired by what's around you, and there's nothing more funny than an old lady falling over on some ice (as long as she's not injured of course). In fact anyone falling over is nearly always amusing for those not involved in the whole falling over business. But be good. Stop giggling, and lend a hand, if this really does happen anywhere near you!

Pagans can't be trusted.

 

A cartoon I drew this week to illustrate a problem someone I know was having with the Scouting Organisation. He wants to be a Scout leader, they don't want Pagans in their movement. Obviously Pagans cannot be trusted to teach anyone about the natural world, survival skills and other such matters that only apply to God fearing Christians and other mainstream religions! To be fair, it looks like they might have back-tracked somewhat, since this became and issue.

It's a long story.

This week's entry in the caption contest. Could be the last paper cartoon that I draw, if my Cintiq ever escapes from Germany. So next week's wobbly cartoon, is not a change in style - it's just me getting used to the Cintiq, and because it cost so much money refusing to draw anything the old fashioned way.

For the second week in a row, I've been topical. This isn't a requirement of the contest. The caption is set, and away we go with whatever pops up, but I changed the title of the book several times, until I found one that I think works. Of course, as last week, some of the topical stuff can get lost, if the voters aren't aware of the story.

If anyone would like to buy a handful of used pencils, half used PITT pens, and a big pack of nice smooth copier paper, just let me know!

HMRC PAYE Cartoon.

This week's entry in the cartoonist forum contest. Last week I was the honoured winner of a crackjack gel pen. I have no idea why. The cartoon was crap - that wasn't the mystery. Unusually, this week's cartoon is topical. Cutting edge topical, as I was struggling for ideas when listening to this mornings news on the Radio. The HMRC have buggered up lots of people's PAYE tax payments. Some will have to pay back an average of £1,500, some will get rebates. All being blamed on a new computer system, which is supposed to make tax payments more accurate! Well that's a detailed explanation of the joke. You must be rolling around by now.

Come with me...

Been away...

Latest cartoon entry in the CCGB caption contest. Some good ones this week, but there looks to be less entries than usual. Surely it couldn't be the hot weather that is putting people off hiding away in their darkened room drawing cartoons?

Can't get to work because of the snow Cartoon.

 

I was waiting for another snow storm to post this cartoon, but then I realised that somewhere in the world there will be someone struggling with the snow. Amazing how many people couldn't make it to work over the bad weather here in the UK.  If you're stuck at home, forced to remain under your duvet, while your boss goes bankrupt - this cartoon is for you.

Communications Champion.

Government Cartoon.

Happy Christmas all blog readers.

 

Happy Christmas to all visitors, and thanks for your support and encouragement. Expect some big changes for 2010.

Get the other cartoons starting here.

Perkins!

This is my latest entry into the weekly Cartoonist Club Of Great Britain forum caption competition. (I should have just wrote CCGBF). Here's hoping I get at least 1 more point than last week! To explain to those who don't read the forum, the caption is set, and then we have to think of a cartoon to match. Steve Bright provided this weeks caption.

Swine vaccine.

Rocket Man.

Here's today's entry in the CCGB cartoon caption competition. How it works; last weeks winner sets a caption that we all have to come up with a cartoon to fit the caption. Voting begins 24 hours after posting. I've gone topical this week. After the other week when I got 2nd place, last week I only got 2 points (thanks Rod!). It really is wide open each week. Hope this one goes down well.

Bangers

She's a Witch!!!

At last, a topical cartoon for Halloween. Not that I approve of Halloween. Give away sweets to strangers? I don't **** think so! I might have some out of date Roses from last Christmas. Yes, they can have them.

Swine Flu

Swine Flu Cartoon #1

Race For Life...

Hmm, click here to visit Cancer Research website and donate some money.

Harry Potter and the Half Baked Cartoon...

Why I became a MP...

The System Needs Changing!

Well here is the first cartoon not drawn with ink. I used my new KOH-I-NOOR graphite pencil for this cartoon. Interesting effect I think. Looks as good as ink once digitised. I will have to claim the £1.35 cost of this new pencil on expenses!
