A Frosty Reception...

Snowman Muggings...

Owing to the way I do cartoons, speech-bubbles get put in last and in a different programme to the one I ink with. This one does have a speech-bubble to go in it, although I was ALMOST tempted to leave it alone (I'd be interested to see what you all think)

Choo, choo!

'After being fired, Thomas' life soon went off the rails...'

Something fantastic happened today. I was rooting through some dusty old files and found a stash of cartoons that I did years ago and forgot about. They'll be up on the blog all in good time, but I inked this one and posted it first because it made me chuckle. Thomas the Tank Engine was the stuff of my early childhood and so when it came time to do an 'Off the rails' joke, I decided to use him. Of course, for legal reasons he's not called by his full name: he's just a blue engine called Thomas. Oh, look at the coincidence! ;)

Making a locomotive look dishevelled is hard work indeed, but with the bleary eyes and stubble I think I pulled it off. Originally I wanted the tag-line to be 'After becoming addicted to coke, Thomas' life soon went off the rails...', but that was too obscure (he runs on coal y'see, and coke is a by-product of coal) and I didn't like the idea of people thinking I was portraying my favourite tank engine as a drug addict.

Anyway, what do you think?

Another Dinosaur Cartoon...

"Well it's taken us 165 million years, but at last we've evolved to cope with the Ice Age. Once again the mighty dinosaurs can rule the Earth, and nothing but a sudden warming of the globe can stop us!"

An example of one that needs a lot of work in every area. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I put this one up: I'm not happy with the pic for some reason (I think it looks a little bland), and the tag-line is waaaay too clunky. There's a reasonable joke in there somewhere, but it needs to be sanded and polished. If you've got any suggestions, then do let me know.

Self explanatory really. No tag-line needed. If you don't get it then you must be some kind of unstoppable moron.

COMING SOON...

Just thought I'd let you know that there's going to be a whole bushel of new cartoons coming very soon. Highlights include Snowman Muggings, Mug Infidelity, and What Bears Do When They Run Out of Loo Roll. The should be up by the end of the weekend, so keep yer peepers peeled for them!
