By way of celebrating the creation of "Cartoonists Corner", and as an experiment into "Meta-Tooning" (cartoons of people viewing cartoons of themselves and criticising them...in...erm... cartoons?) here is my latest take on Mark and Simon...and their excellent show, comprising of one giant bicker interspersed with the odd film review. I couldn't be prouder to be a part of this great church, 10 more years!!! Excelsior Out!! Merry Christmas guys, God bless us every one!!
This year marks the 20th anniversary of my daughters favourite show..."Friends". To mark that august occasion, and as a present for Grace, I have created the above illustration. Although subject to endless repeats the show has lost non of it's appeal due, in no small part, to the quality and consistency of both writing and performance. It's the kind of show you wish you lived in: no real problems, idyllic lifestyle shared with a group of cool, caring & funny people...who happen to be your best friends. They say you should never go back but, you know what, maybe a return trip to The Perk is what we all need right now...just a thought. Excelsior Out!
Having been recently inducted into the BBC's "Wittertainment: Cartoonists Corner", along with @MartinRowson@bobscartoons@roystoncartoons@Schism_Schasmand Daniel Postgate (son of Oliver) I felt compelled to create a LOGO to mark the occasion...so I did! Excelsior Out!
It's been a while since I nailed my colours to the mast so, while my beloved Newcastle United tears itself apart as the chronic disconnect between fans and club grows ever wider, I feel it's worth remembering what footballing god Sir Bobby Robson said, of football clubs in general, all those years ago. Lest we forget. Excelsior Out!
