God is embarrassed.

2012-01-28T14:06:00.001Z

God this is going to be embarrassing.

What a week! This is version 6 of this cartoon. One involved a giant hand, but I won't post that until the contest is over. Got there in the end (I hope). Just couldn't get it right. So over and over I worked it. This was freshly baked this morning, taking elements from all the false starts.

Face on a stick.

Why? Because I can. I have no idea what this means.

Small World Pointless Post.

2012-01-24T13:09:00.000Z

What happened there? I have no idea. This is what happens when I don't have any ideas for a cartoon and I experiment with my Cintiq. Hmm. Interesting. Not sure what use it could possibly be to anyone, but I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think, using the comments feature below.

Please do that somewhere else.

Angry Pilot

2012-01-17T07:30:00.000Z

I don't know why, but I nearly always draw pilots with moustaches. They've all been in the RAF, yes?

Now is a good time for this...

Well that didn't go too well. Very poor score in this week's contest. This is the alternative cartoon I would have posted, had I thought of it at the weekend and not just now.

I will post this to the forum when the scores are in, giving everyone the opportunity to say that they would have voted for this as their top cartoon and would have almost certainly won this week! I suspect that my other cartoon was too similar to another cartoon already posted in the contest, but I couldn't remember when that would have been posted.

This is not a good time!

"Now is not a good time for this"

This week's entry in the CCGB public forum caption contest (CCGBPFCC).

Silent Gag (Cheating).

2012-01-07T12:10:00.000Z

The first cartoon of the year (as technically last weeks cartoon was drawn in 2011). Really good theme set by Richard Skipworth, who won it last week. Thought about this all week. Went into it without any really solid ideas, but just doodled and doodled until I came up with this. Fingers crossed everyone likes this, but as I'm the first to post I have no idea what I'm up against.

Happy New Year.

Well, that's it for 2011. No more cartoons from me. Not until 2012 anyway, when I will be mostly drawing more old people for the CCGB caption contest. Old people and Nazi's. Brilliant subjects for cartoons, and always guarantee me a massive score on the contest. In other news, I'm also going to start sending more cartoons off. I've been a bit slack at doing that lately. No house move this year should help, but it was a smashing excuse while it lasted.

Anything I accidentally give up in 2012 will be declared a resolution, after the fact. Fingers crossed. See you in 2012. It's going to be MENTAL!

Happy Christmas.

2011-12-24T12:09:00.002Z

Just time to squeeze out a cartoon for the cartoon club caption contest, and to wish all readers of Clangnuts a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks for the all comments, and support over the year.

Joan Collins doesn't know.

Secret Santa Cartoon

Quick! Take a picture!

2011-12-10T18:12:00.001Z

This week's entry in the caption contest. To think, I nearly coloured it in as well. That would have been a mistake, I think.

A quick sketch.

2011-12-09T18:00:00.001Z

Just a quick doodle.

Home Soon...

dead cat cartoon #1

This week's entry in the cartoon contest. I do like cats. I just want to point that out. I have three. I haven't shown them this cartoon, for obvious reasons. (they are cats!).

Blowing a fuse.

Bit of an in joke this one. For the CCGB public forum weekly contest. Wacom Cintiq, that is.

Silent Anger.

2011-11-12T18:33:00.001Z

This weeks contest was set by Steve Bright. The theme was ANGER and it was to be a silent gag. No words. No captions. So I couldn't have the nun swearing. Which, if I'm honest is a minor disappointment.

Hair & Hitler.

2011-11-06T00:56:00.000Z

Oh, it's going to be a tricky week for voting, judging by the entries so far. This is THIS week's entry. I forgot to post last week's. Maybe because it didn't get any votes at all, whatsoever, or that it featured Hilter and I don't want it to be that sort of blog. At least it made sense.

Back to this week's entry. This is the second version of the same gag. The first one I just wasn't happy with the drawing. Mirrors. Should use them more in my drawings. Fingers crossed.

Superheroes, what are they good for?

Toilet Cartoon / Superman Cartoon.

Hopefully this cartoon will be understood by most people. Everyone's been there. Decided to do a 'silent' (but deadly?) gag this week. Pharph!

Figure of Speech.

2011-10-17T11:46:00.003+01:00

Total confusion this week. First cartoon changed into second cartoon, then new cartoon drawn, but cartoon 2 used for contest. Should probably gone with cartoon 3, but it's too late now. Shall post it after the voting ends, so everyone can say how much better it is, and how they would have voted for it, if only I'd posted that one.

Think I thought about this one too much.

Just the one, thanks.

This week's entry in the CCGB public forum cartoon caption contest . With a caption like that, it was bound to happen that they'd be some duplicates. Here's my pirate cartoon, that I decided not to enter:

So there you go. Two brand new cartoons this week! Knitting needles/Pirate are interchangeable in the world of cartoons, and so they should be!

A badly drawn cliché

2011-09-29T09:00:00.000+01:00

Oh Lordy, a new cartoon. One that I churned out this morning. Although you won't see it this morning, you'll see it the following day, when it's posted. A badly drawn cliché. But I haven't done a death cartoon as yet (not that I can remember, anyway). We'll see. As always, comments are welcome, but death threats are not!
