Again, drawing on my tablet, this time using the Autodesk SketchBook Pro app for Android for drawing and colouring each panel. However, I resorted to Gimp on my desktop machine to make the composite. I’m still looking for the perfect comic-making app.

So, as I mentioned, we went to see the exhibition of Francis Bacon and Henry Moore at the Ashmolean at the weekend.
I: Oh yes, Knee. And you liked the Francis Bacon?
.
2. Itchy: Oh. OK. But...
3. Itchy: it's my turn to wear the helmet.
Itchy and Knee are back! Sorry for the long absence.
2. I Don't believe it!
3. I've broken the Panic Button!
Warning to you all: this comic is based on fact…
2. [suddenly...] bz! bzzz! bz! bz! bz! bzz!
3. Toothbrush: bz bzzz bz
Itchy thinks: {hmm?}
4. [Later...]
Itchy: but what can it mean?
5. Knee: it's my belief that your electric toothbrush has become SENTIENT!
6. Knee: I think it's trying to tell us something.
Toothbrush: bzzz bz bzz bzz bzzz bzzz bzzzz bz bzzz bz bz bz bzzz bz
7: Itchy: What on Earth could it be saying?
Knee: Leave it to me.
8: Knee reading "MORSE CODE for Cartoon Characters" (also read "SEMAPHORE for Leprechauns"
9: Toothbrush: bzzz bz bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz bz bz bzzz
Knee writing on notepad. Says: GOT IT!
10: Notepad says in morse and text: YOUR BREATH SME??
The panel they said couldn’t be done. Itchy and Knee as you’ve never seen them before. Don’t miss this thrilling episode of The Family Tayberry.
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
Today Itchy and Knee examine the problems of masculine identity in the modern world, with special emphasis on the practical aspects with respect to the consumer society and the ready-made garment industry. Not to mention some easy irony.
(Itchy effortlessly irons a shirt using just one finger whilst watching TV. Big red cross)
2. - Preferring instead the kudos of "Hard-to-iron" wear.
(Knee is kneeling in the wreckage of the ironing board, his head bleeding. He tries to protect himself his hands as an animated shirt flings the iron at his head. Big green tick)
3. - or the extreme glory of the "downright un-ironable"
(Itchy proudly displays his extremely crinkled attire. Big green tick and yellow star!)
4 And don't get me started on "Easy Repayments"
(Knee is gripped by the throat and held off the ground, in the giant maw of a thug about to wallop him with a cosh. The thug's sleeveless vest says "EASY IRON")
We were listening to a local rock band playing covers, and I was drawing this comic.
A little girl appeared and asked if she was “allowed” some paper and “allowed” to use the coloured pencils. She’ll be a dress designer one day, she confidently informed us.
I drew her drawing as she drew, mostly from memory as she wouldn’t look up until she’d finished (you can also see my thumbnails for Itchy and Knee’s comic on the same page.) Then her brother appeared and wanted a portrait too. He pulled a face, so I drew it that way.
1. I & K come across an object in a field
2. K: what is it?
3. I: It's a cow bell!
4. To K's surprise, I rings the bell wildly
5. CLANG!
6. (A cow appears, with jacket and holding a towel) : You rang?
