Another evening of music, this time the Jazz Jam at Oxford Jazz Kitchen. It was very crowded, so from the back I had a restricted view and had to make up quite a lot to fill the scene.

Jazz gig, with tenor sax, guitar, string bass, hippo on bass, bear on drums and giraffe on vocals.
I created this comic as my entry for a competition. I didn’t win, so now I’m free to share it with my readers! To make it easier for most people, I’ve translated it out of the original Latvian into English.
[Art note: I decided in this case to use vector graphics (rather than my usual rough sketches and bitmaps) — which was interesting, being simultaneously liberating (let the computer do the work) and challenging (the need to make definite decisions on line position). Thank you inkscape.]

The urban hunter explores the urban jungle, ants, bees, elephant, hippo, rhino, giraffe, zebra, lion, wildebeest and the odd human commuter.

Noah: Get gopher wood, he said. Get tar and pitch, he said. Take two of each animal, he said. Didn't bloody say nothing about bringing change for the meter.
Of course, when I was in the savannah, we saw giraffe every day.

Giraffe [to assembled woodland creatures at tea]: Not bad, I suppose, for /imported/ acacia leaves, but when /I/ was in the /savannah/...
You gotta play the hand you’re dealt. In this case I was inspired by a poster for the up-coming film, Noah.

Subtitled "Part 18: The Harvest Home!"
Itchy and Knee appear as monks in pseudo renaissance / medieval trompe l'oeil room, with a tayberry hunt and annunciatory cherubs blowing trumpets and flutes. Anachronisms abound. Itchy bears the single tayberry on a golden cushion. Knee awaits, with a carving knife and fork to receive the berry. Is Itchy safe?
Next time: The Grand Carving

↓ Transcript
The giraffe and rider encounter a low bridge. In the effort to stop in time both air brake parachutes and an anchor are employed. The rider barely manages to hang on.
Part 6 of Giraffe Riders.

Above, a giraffe rider out-manoeuvres a cactus plant by leaping over it. Below, the giraffe rider crosses a body of water. The giraffe is a successful snorkeller, but only the rider's hat floats above the water.
Part 5 of the Giraffe Riders series.
↓ Transcript
The giraffe rider leaps, clad only in his hat and carrying his pistol, from his racy lady's 3rd storey hotel window to the neck of his passing trusty giraffe. The sheriff is naturally looking for him, but in the wrong direction. An elderly lady looks on shocked, possibly at the near-nudity, but perhaps only concerned about this dashing fellow's perilous leap?
