My first comic creation act with my shiny new lightbox. (A lightbox makes it easy to copy a rough drawing to a final fair copy, or, in this case, to replicate shapes and objects to help keep them consistent from frame to frame.)

Yesterday both Karen and I had music gigs at the East Oxford Farmers’ Market. However, she didn’t draw a cartoon of my early music band performing. The character on the small table is Pink Fluffy Monster (friends call him PFM.)
Happy Halloween!
Itchy is just being himself today. I feel rather sorry for Knee, but what can you do?
Oh Itchy!
2. Itchy eats his pillow with gusto.
3. Knee: "Itchy! Why are you eating your pillow?"
4. Itchy: "BECAUSE, Knee, I keep forgetting things."
5. Knee: "Itchy! You're eating..."
6. Knee (face-palms): "Memory foam."
Just a doodle from this evening. After scanning I added the flipped inverse image just because.
I have no idea if this is a universal joke or not. It works in the UK. At least, I hope it does.
Knee: "Itchy ... why is there a house brick in the filter jug?"
Itchy: "BECAUSE, Knee, it's to save water, OBVIOUSLY."
Messing around with watercolours.
Itchy: Oh stop your worrying, Knee! I'm making my leftover porridge into oat cakes.
[Itchy runs a clothes-iron over lumps of porridge, flattening them.]
Some creatures spotted at Howlett’s Zoo (in Kent, UK) weather you believe me or not.
Clouded leopard
Sunny intervals leopard
Just a little doodle I found in my brain. The popularity of standing desks is burgeoning in my office (though very few of my colleagues are giraffe.)
Another evening of music, this time the Jazz Jam at Oxford Jazz Kitchen. It was very crowded, so from the back I had a restricted view and had to make up quite a lot to fill the scene. It’s still fairly accurate, I reckon. Karen got up and performed the saucy “Kitchen Man” to an enthusiastically fast drum-beat, but managed to keep her cool and stay in the groove.
