A guide to the Bible, or the communion service, or “family service” or “all age service” might merit a Dave Walker treatment …

Ah yes, the Periodic Table of Churchgoers – an all-time favourite!

Especially like the”Noble Gases”

Disappointing news about the 2013 calendar, Dave. It is a favourite here at St. Brigid’s Episcopal Church in Northern California. If you are still collecting ideas for cartoons, how about alternatives to the Walker calendar for keeping the congregation organised.

You can use something like CafePress to publish your calendar — or some print on demand service – so we can still buy them — check it out.

Upset to hear there won’t be a calendar next year. I always bought one for the church vestry and everyone who came in looked at it and laughed and it cheered us up. I wrote on it things like when to change the altar frontals and to what colour – much simpler to see than forever looking in the lectionary (and much less likely to be forgotten….), churchwardens and vicar’s holidays, PCC meeting dates, and so on. I suppose I can do all that on any other calendar, but any other calendar won’t have your quirky, funny cartoons and I will miss them. Please do one the year after next if you can. We all especially liked ‘The Periodic Table of Churchgoers’, which had us in stitches.

It doesnt take major resources to publish your own calendar – mainly it takes a decent printing co, someway of accepting payments, and someone to post them out. Plenty of local printers would probably offer you a decent deal in these current economic times.

Thanks for comments everyone.

Serena – There may well be an exhibition, just not me standing up in front of any groups of people.

SO sorry to hear that, Dave – gutted there won’t be a calendar or an exhibition. Will you be taking up guerrilla cartooning onsite instead? The maps, book and t-shirt are all eagerly anticipated in our family!

Sorry to read that Dave, as will be my friends who kindly buy me the calendar for my birthday My advanced electronic device just frustrates me, whilst the calendar brightens my day.

T Campolo v D Walker – no contest from my point of view! Hey ho – you get to wander around a bit and accept (appropriate) adulation!

Very wise and considerate editing!

Tom – thanks for getting back to me. I’ve removed that section of the post – Greenbelt isn’t really where my problem lies.
