Inspired by my new job at Oxbotica, writing software for self-driving vehicles. I’m having a lot of fun, learning new things and building stuff. Roll on the day when only computers drive, and road rage will just be something you take a history tablet to learn about in school.

Lunchtime doodle
In those days there were no grass-roots movements, largely due to the lack of any grass.
This comic was inspired by an eye-opening talk at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History on “The Cambrian explosion and the origin of animals” given by Prof. Paul Smith. Even before the Cambrian started, 540 million years ago, animal body plans were evolving down in the smelly mud at the edge of the continental shelves (as I understood it.)
Pictured left-to-right: Charnia, Dickinsonia and some kind of jellyfish.
sings: Mutate and replicate
band name: pre cambrian explosion
caption: Meanwhile, in the neo-proterozoic, change was fomenting.
Another doodle. This time I was out of ideas for a subject, and Laura immediately suggested the word “bookworm” for me to riff on.
I think this doodle creature was inspired by one of the characters in Karen’s show.
Tea time!
I was playing with new toys today, especially my dip pen and ink. So here’s a cartoon for #inktober2018
