Robot (work in progress)

"I'm sorry Mrs. Circuit, but your husband's condition has worsened. You may have to consider pulling the plug..."

This is one where my reach exceeded my grasp. I like to try and keep my cartoons simple: partly because it's easier to colour, partly because it looks better when shrunk down to its published size. The punch-line to this one isn't bad, but nor is it spectacular. It's the little details that make me like this cartoon (note the Ward names and the name of the robot surgeon), but in the end they don't save it from being so-so. If I ever start publishing in a bigger format then it'll make it back in, but as it is, it stays firmly in the drawer.

Penguins (work in progress)

"Gentlemen, I present to you our next plan to take over Great Britain: Operation: 'Beaked Leader'!"

Okay, this one was going to be in the roster for publication, but the knowledge it would take so bloody long to colour, coupled with the fact that it's only funny in my head, meant that it was soon dropped. I think I drew this at a phase when I found penguins trying to take over the world/and dressing in coats to try and look like people funny. In the cold light of day its really not a good stand-alone cartoon. But I thought I'd give it its chance here before it went into 'The Draw from which no Cartoons return...' (aka, the bin).
