I’m pleased to announce that a new book of my cartoons is now available. It’s the ninth collection of my Church Times cartoons, titled ‘The PCC Strikes Back’ (title will make more sense to those within C of E circles).

It’s available by ordering from your local bookshop, or buy online via my books page.

I’ve said more about the book here, on the Canterbury Press website.

Household Problems: Domestic Incompetence in Diagrams is a collection of more than 44* cartoons, including some you’ll have seen in the previous 66 episodes of this newsletter, but also some new ones. Topics tackled include:

• Technology Problems. Why can’t someone invent a printer that works?
• Kitchen Problems. Where are we going to put one more kitchen gadget?
• Garden Problems. Is that a weed, or a valid plant?
• Living Room Problems. Why can’t I remember which light switch does what?

THANK YOU to everyone who has, at one point or another, sent me Household Problems ideas. Some of them are in there. Please don’t be too offended if yours isn’t – it was the deadline rather than the quality of your suggestion.

Book FAQs

You’re announcing this very close to Christmas, Dave.Why? Yes, I know. But this year has been complicated, so December was the only time I could get to work on it. And here we are. But good news: At the time of writing there’s still time for Christmas delivery.

Who has published it? It’s self published, via Amazon KDP.

How much is it? In the UK – £7.99. USA $10.69.

Where do I get it? Amazon. UK, or USA, or the different European Amazon sites, Australia, Japan, you name it. Links below.

OK, I have to ask. Why Amazon? Why not [some alternative]? The very short answer: This book wouldn’t have met the criteria a conventional book publisher would require. And being a full-time cartoonist is a privilege, but also challenging to make work, and I’m doing what I need to do to make it viable.
[There’s a longer answer to this question and some additional FAQs in Part 2 of my newsletter, for Paid subscribers,]

One of the first cycling cartoons I drew.

A bit more about the road / sport side of cycling than some of my more recent work.

Found in the Cycling Cartoonist, published by Bloomsbury.

The post 20 reasons to love cycling appeared first on Dave Walker.

Some family cycling images suitable for posters, banners, leaflets, websites, etc. The downloadable versions are transparent, so can be used on a background of whatever colour. (Any colour on which a black line is visible, anyway.)

There are three versions, depending on the number and size you’d like.

I ask that you join Diagram Club Paid if you’d like to use these. Thank you!

Practical note for anyone using my work: Please make sure the images aren’t stretched to fit a space, as that always looks terrible and (to put it politely) makes your poster / whatever look a tiny bit amateurish.
