Part one of the Five Part saga, Avocado Man.
Here’s my comic from Adam’s exceptionally enjoyable comic drawing workshop at the University Museum of Natural History. We looked at giant models of insects and even cuddled live hissing cockroaches. This comic was drawn and inked at the museum, then scanned coloured at home in gimp.
Stop Press! I notice Adam has quoted me on his comic blog (not suitable for kiddywinks) …
I found a great big art book in a charity shop today — “German and Austrian Painting of the 15th-18th Centuries in the Hermitage.” Apart from the book title and the painting titles in English, the text is in Russian, which I can hardly even read, let alone understand. So I’ve had to interpret this one for myself. It’s “The Annunciation” by Anton Raffael Mengs.
The Hermitage looks like a magnificent place — it was the setting for the astonishing film Russian Ark (2002).
The words are the entirety of poem by e e cummings. I think they are complete in themselves, but nevertheless I’ve tried to add pictures with my own twist. Does it work?

But mainly I had seen some scientists playing vith liquid nitrogen, and I vanted to have some fun vith it too.”
I’ve not much to say, except see this
It’s going to be that time of year again soon, folks!
Reality Reality™. You saw it here first.
I’ve noticed that the merest mention of a banana in a comedy-safe situation is enough to provoke tears of almost hysterical laughter in any reader, owing to this fruit’s extreme comic potential index (CPI) of 10.0. Socks also score a perfect 10.0, but tennis racquets are only about 3.6 and electric sanding discs rate 0.4. Data supplied by the Invisibulian Institute of Statistical Information (who rate themselves at 0.0 CPI ± 0.2).
