I have a rival

There is a new church cartoonist in town – see Ian’s Youthful Blog for the particulars. I am impressed. I am not good at doing cartoons about baptism and especially communion, so have secretly made some notes.

On a not-really-related-but- slightly-related-I-suppose note, here is a good piece about how to display artwork on the internet. It is taken from the promising-looking ‘lines and colors‘ weblog. I will be reading half of it because I do not really do colours.

In News: I had mozzarella, tomato and basil sandwiches for lunch in an attempt to lift my morale. I pick the basil leaves fresh from the plant in the kitchen which you are only supposed to water when it droops. It seems cruel but that is what the label says to do. I love basil. I even like the sound of the word. Basil, basil, basil. Mmmm.

Update: Ian has added more junior cartoon church pictures.

    Just an idea – have you eer thought of doing something about allergies that vicars really don’t need: eg cats, tea, lilies…..

    Do I detect a Fawlty Towers fan?

  3. Chas says:

    And the cartoons do have a certain penetrating insight – I wonder if Ian’s daughter has been studying your cartoons …

    That’s funny Dave – I find communion one of the richest sources of cartoon ideas! Maybe I’ve just been to some bizarre churches and Christian communities. ;o)

    This really happened at church on Sunday:

    At junior church, one kid starts asking tricky questions: Is Jesus God? Is there one God or Three? What is prayer all about?

    One of the leaders said gently that the Trinity was a a mystery.

    And one of the other kids said very forcefully ‘No it isn’t.’

  7. Dave says:

    Mary – thanks for the idea. I’ll put it in a notebook.

    Chas – I am, but I like this sort of basil on its own merits.

    Cartoonist rival – that’s ok. Keep up the cartooning!

    Tim – I think it might be that I don’t try to think of ideas in case they upset anyone. But yes, you have done some good communion ones.

    Joe – that’s great.

    I usually only water my Basil plant when it droops, but I didn’t know that is what you are supposed to do. I think I’ll get some mozarella for the weekend, Basil, tomato and mozarella is a deliciously refreshing combination.
