It is the 11th of January and I haven’t blogged yet in 2011. This is a scan from my this year’s notebook. The left hand side is a cartoon, in case that needs to be said. I might draw it properly, we shall see. The words on the right hand side have been left in [...]

When I walk through the valley of the shadow of the dearth of cartoon inspiration (sorry…) I sometimes need a little encouragement to lift my spirits. Fortunately such a boost occurred yesterday, when I was described by the Telegraph’s Blog Editor Damian Thompson as “the world’s worst cartoonist”. Had he described me as “a mediocre [...]

Well, the Lambeth Conference has been and gone. I had hoped to write more about it, but time has run out and I’m now taking a bit of a break from the blog for a couple of weeks. Welcome, by the way, to readers of the Echo (local paper for south Essex): ‘Cartoonist raises bishops’ [...]

On Friday we went to see the Radio 4 comedy show New World Order being recorded. It is by Danny Wallace and was very entertaining… and free. Before we went into the actual studio-sort-of-area we had to write a question to ask the ruler of the world. Ten or so people were selected to read [...]

My real day job has been revealed by a kind commenter who sent me the following link: Patch Man To quote the site: Yellow is the color of manliness in this shawl-collared, saddle-shouldered, patch-elbowed pullover.

I’m aware that this is a rain cartoon, not a hypochondria cartoon, but I cannot find the hypochondria one and it is too late to scan as it will wake the neighbours. “It is that blessed cartoonist and his 2am scanning again”, they will exclaim as they are awakened from their slumber. 2am typing is [...]
