Part 2 of the whimsical series Giraffe Riders! To be continued.
Giraffe Riders! Part 1.
Welcome to my latest fit of whimsy, o long suffering readers. I’ve been studying giraffes (as you may know) for weeks, and here’s the first installment. To be continued! Thanks to AZ for inspiration for this idea.
I made this comic on my Android tablet, using Autodesk Inc.’s Sketchbook Pro for Tablets. It’s a little bit fiddly, but I think it came out all right.
I’d like to thank Karen for suggesting the comic.
I’ve no idea if it’s possible to smoothly plié in third. Maybe if you have fuel injection. I just like saying Royal Ballet School of Motoring.
Historical note: Yes, I realise that motor cars no longer look like this.
RIKS! RAKS! POKS!
I’d like to thank Karen for helping me to arrive at this idea.
And Wikipedia for help with the Finnish translation.
Well, we’re hoping they’ll be back again this year. We can see the shoots and the flower buds: let’s hope they’re not discouraged by the continued cold weather and change their minds at the last minute.
It turns out that I made a mistake. The “Newt Rhino” I posted earlier may in fact have been a Rhino Newt. This one is the real Newt Rhino. I hope. I’m sorry for any confusion or inconvenience I may have caused.
This is exciting, because it turns out that the Newt Rhino is extremely abundant, possibly the most abundant animal there is. However, they are elusive and scientists can’t even agree about their mass yet.
I’m hoping to find out even more at a University of Oxford seminar next week by Dr. Antonin Vacheret. The title is “Neutrino, the invisible messenger” – I wonder if they’ve spotted their spelling mistake.
Really this cartoon was just an excuse to draw a dinosaur. Something like a triceratops, perhaps. It’s almost as much fun to draw a dinosaur as it is to draw a giraffe!
Any imagined resemblance to any manager half-alive or un-dead is purely co-incidental.
BTW this joke probably doesn’t cross the Atlantic so well.
