I have no idea if this is a universal joke or not. It works in the UK. At least, I hope it does.
Another tale almost-from-life, and another experiment with watercolouring. I think the grain on this particular paper is too heavy for this kind of thing.
Messing around with watercolours.
Itchy and Knee striving for parity, as always. I note that peas have almost as much comic potential as bananas.
May I take this opportunity to wish to all my readers, non-readers, search-engine-robots and those-who-are-too-young-to-ask-questions (those especially), a very happy and healthy arbitrary-annual-date-roll-over-moment; and best wishes for the period-until-the-next-one. In particular, those who celebrate a quarter to four o’clock in the afternoon* of thirds of Januaries – joy to you… about… NOW!
I’m sure that Itchy and Knee would wish for the same, if they would only stop squabbling for a little bit.

Itchy gets a starring role today (Knee was nowhere to be found when I wanted to sketch him.) My mother-in-law gave me this word to keep. Thanks Barbara 🙂
Oh, and here’s the small beaded rhinoceros we bought on a street corner, directly from the artist, in Johannesburg. It seems to be settling in well to the late summer in England:
Itchy and Knee living life to its fullest, as usual.
The blackberry harvest this year is already far outstripping last year’s dismal returns. If you want to know how Itchy can talk and lick his lips at the same time, well I’m afraid it’s a trade secret.
We went to see the Matisse cut-outs exhibition at Tate Modern this week. Some great designs are on show. Recommended. Even Itchy and Knee decided to try the cut-out style.
No animals were harmed in the manufacture of this entirely vegetable saddle.
It would be absurd to imagine that this comic is in any way based upon real events or persons.
