Chapter:

Itchy gets a starring role today (Knee was nowhere to be found when I wanted to sketch him.) My mother-in-law gave me this word to keep. Thanks Barbara 🙂

Oh, and here’s the small beaded rhinoceros we bought on a street corner, directly from the artist, in Johannesburg.  It seems to be settling in well to the late summer in England:

2014-08-28 Sunflower

Aug30
by on 2014-08-30 at 11:49
Chapter:

In this documentary the part of the sunflower is played by Helianthus annuus.

I am grateful for the assistance of my wife, Karen, and to the legion of plant suppliers whose prolific supply of seed catalogues forms an excellent and nourishing mulch in our flower beds.

Scientific note: John Gerard, master in chirurgerie, says in his 1597 book “The Herball, or, Generall historie of plantes” regarding “the flower of the Sunne”

[…] a plant of such stature and talenesse, that in one sommer being sowen of a seede in Aprill, it hath risen up to the height of fourteene foote in my garden, where one flower was in waight three pounde and two ounces, and crosse overthwart the flower by measure sixteene inches broade.

[…] those that have reported it to turne with the sunne, the which I coulde never observe, although I have endevored to finde out the truth of it

2014-08-10 Itchy and Knee in Blood Bath

Aug10
by on 2014-08-10 at 20:48
Chapter:

The blackberry harvest this year is already far outstripping last year’s dismal returns. If you want to know how Itchy can talk and lick his lips at the same time, well I’m afraid it’s a trade secret.

We went to see the Matisse cut-outs exhibition at Tate Modern this week. Some great designs are on show. Recommended. Even Itchy and Knee decided to try the cut-out style.

↓ Transcript
(Itchy is looking frightened, waving a knife and apparently covered in blood) Knee: Oh no, Itchy! What have you done?
Itchy (licking his lips): Blackberry and apple crumble...

May17
by on 2014-05-17 at 09:11
Chapter:

It would be absurd to imagine that this comic is in any way based upon real events or persons.

↓ Transcript
Itchy: sigh
Itchy: ohhhh
Itchy: groan
Knee: What's up Itchy?
Itchy: Nothing, why?
Knee: You've been wandering around the house sighing all day.
Itchy: No I haven't. I have a perfectly well defined itinerary.

2014-03-03 Itchy & Knee in “2B”

Mar03
by on 2014-03-03 at 22:25
Chapter:

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.

↓ Transcript
Itchy and Knee play on the swings and roundabouts. In their usual style they play too hard, and go flying. After a near-miss in mid-air they manage to land safely, if awkwardly, on the still swinging and spinning rides, having now swapped places with each other. Caption: The swings and roundabouts of outrageous fortune.
