Tank Paintballing 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Found this interesting post on Retro Thing Paintball using tanks! Brilliant. Could be a great idea for the next team day.
"Southfields farm, near Husbands Bosworth in Leicestershire has a long history of paintball competitions. Farm owner Stuart Garner recently decided to up the ante with the purchase of five FV432 Armoured Personnel Carriers -- conveniently outfitted with gun turrets and custom-made 40mm ping pong firing paintball cannons. Armourgeddon has well and truly arrived"
Halloween 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A puntastic cartoon for Halloween
. Puns are a very useful tool to the cartoonist, as demonstrated so well by Tim Harries. Another quick and raw drawing for the blog.
You may have noticed that I've been playing around with the look of the blog. Only just worked out how to have my banner at the top of the site, thanks to this site. I think the blog is looking much better now. Hopefully the display issues with some browsers will have improved too.
Big Hands 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The blog redesign is now complete. There will be no more changes for some time now. Time to get drawing. The strip idea has gone nowhere so far, although the setting is sort of worked out. They say the best ideas are from real life - so who knows. If I know you - *you may make an appearance in the strip! Wouldn't that be nice :-)
* cash bribes accepted.

Chelsea Wagons 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I've been a little slow with this news item. Councils are considering charging owners of 4x4 vehicles a premium for parking on the street. Seems strange that people would be penalised for NOT using their Chelsea
wagons! Maybe the Councils should be paying people to park, and encourage them to remain parked for as longs as possible.
John Prescott 1970-01-01 00:59:59 No sooner had our great Deputy Prime Minister settled down to a pie and a pint of ale, when the media starts having another pop. Poor Mr Prescott. In an interview, he said "I've heard there's rumours on something called the internet - on a blog. I've no idea what a blog is, I've only just got used to letters." Well Mr Prescott. Why not try to get used to two letters at a time. What about M.P. - it means member of parliament, and the Great British Public expect an MP to behave in a certain way. Doing something useful would be a brilliant start. If that's too much, then how about leaving public office and hiding in one of your four luxury homes? The press would soon get bored. An ex-MP is no news at all.
I now feel confident that Prescott doesn't read this thing called a blog.
Fat Bloke = £2,000,000 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Political Cartoons are great. It's like these people offer themselves up for public ridicule, the moment they enter office. Who needs the Thatcher Government, when we have this current crowd of character's. NuLabour rocks, if you're a cartoonist. I do hope they stay in office. The Tories just seem so samey, uninteresting and boring. David Camaroooooon looks like a bank manager. Not good subject for cartoons. I need freaks in the Government, ok!
Oh, and since highlighting his situation on here, Jeeves has now found a new job with Mr Prescott MP (Minister without much to do). From search engine guru to fat Labour politician's gofer. You see Jeeves, when you reach rock bottom, the only way is up.
They shouldn't hang Saddam! 1970-01-01 00:59:59
I'm against the death penalty full stop. By hanging ANYONE, they are just as barbaric as they claim he has been.
A few years back, Saddam
was an ally of the USA, and UK. He carried out these murders of civilians, while he was been given weapons and financial support of the UK, and USA governments - because at the time it suited us politically. USA and it's sidekick UK were pulling Saddam's strings.
He only invaded Kuwait, because he thought we supported him and wouldn't intervene. Bush senior said that he wouldn't intervene weeks before the invasion of Kuwait.
The Soviet bloc collapses, America needs a new bogey man. Hmm lets see - Saddam has just invaded a Sovereign Country (Kuwait was hardly a democracy, and still isn't, but the 'civilised west' chooses to ignore this - hell, they have OIL!)
Saddam outlasts Bush Senior. They hold back from completely invading Iraq (no one will ask why?)
Clinton was asked if he would invade Iraq, and depose Saddam. His reply was, why? He's
The Sunderland Space Program 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Sometimes, just sometimes - there's a news story that I HAVE to cover with a cartoon. Unbelievably, a 22 year old man, inserted a firework into his own rectum and lit it! Maybe he thought that he would be launched into space? Something you'd never see at an organised display! Listening to BBC radio news, the newsreader lost it when reading out this story.

Doctor Google 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Researchers have suggested that Doctor
s can make use of the Google
search engine, for tricky diagnoses. They carried out 26 blind tests, and Google correctly diagnosed 15 of the cases. Let's just hope the doctor doesn't press the 'I'm feeling lucky'. Get Google bombing now!
And.....Nothing! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 As you may have noticed there's been no new cartoons on here since the weekend. This is not good. The desk is tidy, my pens are all lined up ready. The blank paper is there, in front of me. And....nothing. It's not like I don't even have any ideas. There must be quite a few decent cartoons waiting to get on here. Maybe I can back into the swing of things again soon. I have been experimenting with how to scan my cartoons better on here, thanks to the wonderful advice on Matt Glovers Chewing Pencils. Who needs to get rid of the pencil marks, when you can manipulate the scanning process like this! Read more:Nothing
King of the Swingers, bom bom bom! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I was supposed to post this on Monday. Blogger allows me to cheat and travel back in time to post this.
Happy Birthday, Judith & Paul.

Worst Burgler Ever? 1970-01-01 00:59:59
Found this amusing video on YouTube. No sound.
DVD Rewider 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Don't you just hate having to rewind all those DVD's? Well here's the solution. The DVD Rewinder. You can buy this for around $16 here. No more awkward situations at the Video rental shop. Can also rewind CD's with a special add on pack.
Elton John wants organised religion banned! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Sir Elton
John has said he would like to see all organised religion banned, as it promotes hatred towards gay people. If he's against organised religion - then he must be in favour of disorganised religion!

Nuclear War 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Tim Harries has shown me that it's OK to pun every now and then. As you can see I've been experimenting with using Photoshop to colour the cartoons. I think it works quite well.

TOP CARTOONS 1970-01-01 00:59:59
This blog has been going now since May 2006. Thought it was time to reflect on the better cartoons that have appeared here over the last 7 months. I know the site navigation isn't great on here. I've tried to make it as simple as possible, but for those of you who've become lost, here's what I consider the best cartoons from the 200 odd posted here.
Let me know if there's a cartoon that you think should be on this list.

Wallpaper 1970-01-01 00:59:59 If you think this is bad - you should see the first version. The bird looked like some bizarre chicken/duck mongrel! That one has gone into the recycle bin.
Import/Export 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This cartoon was suggested to me by one of the regular visitors to the site. They have asked to remain anonymous (wonder if they'll change their mind, should it go down well?), so anon it has to be. Thanks anyway. If you have an idea for a cartoon, don't hesitate to contact me.

Dragon Sausages 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A Welsh sausage maker has been warned that it must clearly label is Welsh DragonSausages
to meet regulations. Just think of all those people who thought they were eating a mythical beast! But it doesn't end there. What about Monster Munch? Fairy Washing Up Liquid? and Lion Bars???
There's so much deception in this twisted world of ours. It's time we were told the truth for once!
