An Oldie

…but possibly not a goodie….

In Print

…on paper…

…oops.

Close Encounter

…most definitely of the first kind…

…because this is the first time I used my little green men characters.

 

…(apologies for all the references to politicians long since retired or dead or incarcerated or all of the above…as we would prefer)….

Spot The Foo Foo

…hmm, the possible roots of my distaste for small dogs….

…spot the telecom dog…

…there were a lot of these and telecom had all of our money so they ran allllllll the timmmmmme….

…grr.

OOO Colour

…this is the first cartoon I completed in full colour (ed pencil)…a reprise of a ‘toon published the year before…at the request of an AIDs awareness group whose name escapes me….

…damn, I’m old enough to remember sex before condoms!

…(I only worked in colour when someone else requested it in days of yore…too expensive for me to reproduce…

…damn, I’m old enough to remember print costs before colour copiers and ink jet printers!)

21 Years Behind The Brush

…ooo…this is the first page I did with a brush…

…actually it’s got some pen work in it as well, but my confidence that the brush was a good idea took a couple of years to “take”…

…can’t remember the context for the idea…

…or which publication it appeared in…

….(possibly a capping mag’)….

Broadcast Lies

….III…. ….is that better?

Lies All Lies

 

…it’s all lies.

 

…(in 1994 I organised myself and 3 others to contribute weekly strip cartoons to Critic, the Otago University Student Association’s newspaper. My contribution was an attempt to be topical on a weekly basis…)….(this bit is true).

Not For The Faint Hearted

…or the easily offended…

 

…or if you get grossed out in general….

…general elections that is.

Dots And Lines

…dots & lines…

 

….dots & lines…

…& balloons for heads.

 

…(no exams were taken in the making of this cartoon).
