If you must know, they are Dr. Martens.
Biscuits. And their relationship to world suffering.
Spring is here!

Itchy and Knee are back! Sorry for the long absence.
Warning to you all: this comic is based on fact…
Our Bed and Breakfast hosts, during our little jaunt to the South coast, were at pains to point out that the shower drain is not blocked, simply slow; and that we could regard the water sloshing around our toes and ankles as a relaxing foot-bath at no additional cost. However, by the time I’d finished washing my hair I was worried to observe that the water level was just above the top of the shower tray.
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.

Diary entry: Yesterday we saw the exhibition of Ice Age art at the British Museum (in London). It was, for me, astonishing. The exhibits are drawn from 40,000 years of human history, yet you can clearly see that the artists were as skilled and as insightful as any today. These people thought just the same way that we do, though their technology was less advanced.
If you can possibly get to London to visit the exhibition before it closes on 2nd June, then go! (Booking essential)
In the picture I’ve roughed out part of the Great Court (as seen from just above my much needed cup of coffee!) and overlaid my thumbnail sketches of some of the objects that caught my attention.
