Prancing on Ice.

 

I haven't been able to do much in the way of cartooning over the last couple of weeks. I'm not entirely sure what I've been so busy doing, but I do know it all got a little hectic back there for a time. I have removed the dust from the Cintiq and given the cartoon contest another go. As usual, I didn't have a clue what to draw, until I started drawing it. Always good to be inspired by what's around you, and there's nothing more funny than an old lady falling over on some ice (as long as she's not injured of course). In fact anyone falling over is nearly always amusing for those not involved in the whole falling over business. But be good. Stop giggling, and lend a hand, if this really does happen anywhere near you!

Lost Properly...

Another week over and another cartoon for the caption contest at the cartoonist forum. I say caption contest, for that's what it is this week. After a glut of a contest where a theme with an optional caption was set, and some got upset about this and refused to take part - we seem to have come back to the original idea of the contest. Set a caption and draw a cartoon to go with it. It's a fun challenge and one that I look forward to taking part in every week. If I don't draw anything else that week, at least I know that nearly most times I will be drawing a cartoon for this contest every Saturday.

Pagans can't be trusted.

 

A cartoon I drew this week to illustrate a problem someone I know was having with the Scouting Organisation. He wants to be a Scout leader, they don't want Pagans in their movement. Obviously Pagans cannot be trusted to teach anyone about the natural world, survival skills and other such matters that only apply to God fearing Christians and other mainstream religions! To be fair, it looks like they might have back-tracked somewhat, since this became and issue.

Stupid Invention.

 

This weeks entry in the cartoonist contest. Have been far too busy to get busy with the Cintiq this week! Phew. Idea came to me at the last minute. Hopefully this will win simply because people want a traditional contest next week, which I have promised if I win! Which probably eliminates this from winning because then people will just think it was voted for because they wanted a traditional contest set for the following week, and not because they liked the cartoon at all, which won't do my confidence much good at all. What have I done?
