From the sketchbook #1

My commentary on writer's block.

It's the cat's meow #5

It's the cats meow is kind of my flagship comic strip. If I'm ever lucky enough to get a daily strip I think this'll be the one.

Last of the Gentlemen Scientists #3

echoes #1

I kind of have hopes for this strip. It seems commercial enough and the idea is simple: that the things we do as adults are the same as the things we did as children. It's difficult to know what kind of publication would carry this. I've tried a couple of the Sunday papers, but no luck so far.

Ice falling from a cloudless sky

Yesterday morning, at around seven, I was walking along the Thames when I stopped to look out along the river. After a few seconds a snowball-sized piece of ice fell several metres in front of me, onto the Thames' riverbanks. There were no clouds in the sky and the nearest building was so far back from where I was that I doubted someone could've thrown it such that it landed at such a steep angle.

I should've gone and taken a closer look at it. As it was, I was glad to have seen it at all. Now I have my own one-in-a-billion story that I can use when people are talking about amazing coincidences.
