…but a mosquito net might help. I’m not a great speller myself but this job ad pasted in a restaurant window today took the proverbial biscuit for me. It was only when I got the image on the screen that I noticed the resident mosquito.It would appear also that one applies within a phone number. I think I’ll stick to home made food.

It’s tough at the top, or so I’m told. At the start of my career ( yeright! ) I thought that I’d be climbing the greasy pole and looking for career advancement. I ended up drawing for a living, 30 years of that exclusively freelance, and then had a career change some 11 years ago. I became an executive! I wore a tie ( a friend suggested that this was probably around my waist to keep my trousers up ) and was called an account manager. Who were they kidding, calling me that! I know it’s sales, but so be … Continue reading The greasy pole…
I’ve found a way of disappearing almost completely from sight. I live in the centre of a reasonably large town and like to shop in the town without making my arms any longer than they need be by carrying heavy bags. So I bought a shopping bag on wheels. All of a sudden I’ve become completely invisible, that’s me on the left of the drawing. Not there? Yes I am but your not looking at me. You ‘re looking at the shopping trolley and thinking this is some old geezer who I will not bother giving my flyers to, I’ll … Continue reading Invisible from here.
. Another very early blog from the archive, short but sweet. When a sheep falls over it might, if it falls on its back, have trouble getting up again unaided. If my memory serves me right, the term for this condition is kesselling. It’s probably a term that originates in Yorkshire. I have absolutely no proof whatsoever that the term exists.This little person is in danger of kesselling, if perchance she does fall on her back then she may well need parental help in uprighting herself. Kesselring was an entirely different name, as I recall he was a top German general … Continue reading Kesselling…I think.
Musings on a menu seen yesterday. Sounds like good value, see the last few posts for the full picture, or just this one. Gravy? Continue reading Ma, shed, pot, a toe….
OK it does n’t save lives and it might seem inconsequential, which it is, but it serves to entertain…sometimes. Barking! Continue reading Dog…yes, one is paid for this sort of thing.
Health and safety, there it is in a nutshell. There’s nothing really very funny about slipping with a hot cup tea but somehow a cartoon makes it seem ‘different’. A little like the violence on Tom and Jerry, it’s not quite the same. I’ve done a lot of cartoons on ‘health and safety’ over the years and this one dates back quite a few years, so many that I forget who the client was.Probably a building company that used to commission cartoons about safety for them. I hope that they had some effect or someone’s slipped up. Continue reading Ooooops!
