This rejected rough was written after I read about an iPhone app that provides ripostes to the arguments of climate sceptics. BB felt that the underlying [English] sarcasm wouldn’t come through and it would be playing into the hands of the sceptics. Probably right.
I do like the insult of "monkey-brained doofus"

As news reports that humans are driving species to extinction faster than ever, but GM discontinues the Hummer, this old Arctic Circle cartoon seemed worth a rerun:
I'm glad this cartoon about the Hummer became true

If you drop any, that is…
Elwood is for a local paper and I get to be more strident than I can be for Arctic Circle
NB. I drop a lot of apple cores, but only in places where they will biodegrade out of sight.
NB2. We live near a dog park and get a lot of bags of shit tossed in our communal garden. WTF?

I recently scored a lovely little gig for a teaching magazine and I’m in the process of doing my second cartoon for them. The first two roughs were rejected and this one rightly so – on reflection, it would only appeal to those who were traumatised by their chemistry practical lab work like me. Those who remember that every test seemed to require production of a crystalline white solid instead of the murky brown liquid that was the actual result.
yes, my roughs are very rough

Working on some strips for next month and enjoying having a dig at fashion. Even some of my most environmentally aware friends lose it when it comes to fashion and go consumer crazy.

Some time ago, I entered a little competition to have a comic strip blown up to billboard size and put up on the iconic Corner Hotel (a pub known for its live music) in Richmond, Melbourne.
I won the latest round and the strip will be up until 27th Feb.

I asked one of the many security guys milling about the entrances what he thought of the cartoon. “I like it,” he said, “the polar bear in the last panel reminds me of one of my boys – he’s built just like him”.
I also finally got to make good on a promise I made to Adam of The Eastern. I can’t remember why, but I said I’d put his band in one of my comic strips. They are playing in the background of panel 2.

I had a feeling this wouldn’t fly – can’t go attacking particular brands. But it’s an irony that that luxury brand’s logo is so similar to CND’s.
