20211209 Just Itchy in Itch Goes Too Far

Dec10

Chapter:

Gosh, it’s been a long time. I’ve forgotten how to do all these little steps, so I hope it all comes out in the end.
Google tells me that the email subscription service is (or has already?) come to an end, so if that’s the way you subscribed so far it won’t work in the future. RSS should still work, and for example I use feedly.com for reading content like that.

↓ Transcript
1. Itchy, centre stage: "I am a master."
2. Reaches over face and pulls: "of"
3. Reveals cat face: "disguise!"
4. Reaches again and pulls.
5. Now he's an elephant-head. Quite small! Reaching over...
6. Now he's a tiny giraffe-head, reaching over...
7. Now he has a very very small head, a little animal we can't identify.
8. Reaches over and POP! the head comes off: "Oops! Too far as usual"

2018-10-05 Itchy and Knee in Space Tennis

Oct05
by on 2018-10-05 at 20:20
Chapter:

There’s no joke here, I just thought that Itchy and Knee deserved to have a bit of enjoyment now and then. And the idea of their round heads in round space helmets was irresistible.

[I did this drawing in black ink for Inktober, and then inverted it during scanning.]

Itchy and Knee play tennis... in space.

2018-03-11 Would Mouse like to leave now?

Mar11
by on 2018-03-11 at 13:17
Chapter:

Gosh, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Sorry about that.

Anyway, turns out that taking pity on the cute* likkle wood mouses and letting them use our house during the cold spell was not without consequence. After finding mouse droppings on the breakfast table even Karen was convinced that murine check-out time had now arrived. We baited the (humane!) trap with peanut butter, which the little dears love so much that even once the trap door is opened to freedom they’d still rather have just one more little nibble before they go.

Six so far, and counting.

UPDATE: We took about 14 mice away, or possibly two mice seven times each (on average.) Then Karen took two of them a lot further away and now we have no mice at all. The house is quiet and sad again — we miss them. (But not their poo.)

—
*oh! But they are SO cute!

↓ Transcript
Wood mouse sitting at a table prepares to eat bread and peanut butter, oblivious to the primed mouse-trap around the peanut butter jar.

2016-11-16 Devil on the Train

Nov16
by on 2016-11-16 at 22:02
Chapter:

I’m afraid this is what came out of my brain today, whilst on the train back to Oxford after a day in London. I went for a meeting which finished an hour before the National Gallery closed. At the gallery I was inspired by a striking image of St. Michael slaughtering a devil, painted in 1468 by Bartolomé Bermejo:
Saint Michael Triumphs over the Devil, by Bartolomé Bermejo, 1468
I mean — Jeepers Creepers, where’d you get those eyes?

↓ Transcript
Bartolomé's devil rides a train through moonlit countryside.
