Chapter:

Remember, your blood pressure may go up as well as down. Your kidneys may be at risk if you do not keep up the payments.

I suppose this comic is nothing new in places where there’s no free, national health service. But in the UK we used to have one, that all of us were proud of (excepting the present government, of course.)

And I don’t usually do political satire. But I did so much want to use the sentence “your illness is important to us.”

2013-02-23 Rhinoceros & Harp

Feb25
by on 2013-02-25 at 00:00
Chapter:

Here’s a doodle I made to go on a poster for a forthcoming concert. We’ll be raising money for Save the Rhino International (again.) The amount of rhino poaching is still increasing — the rhinos may be doomed simply because of an erroneous belief in the healing properties of their horns.

Chapter:

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) …

Aug14

Posted In: blog

 

(If you can’t see the video, try clicking here)

In contrast to the previous animation, this one took us about three hours in preparation and production (and another hour faffing about with audio mixing and video codecs).  The sweet potato remains were delicious, by the way.
