If at first you don't succeed...





I loved the build up to this joke but I couldn't get the punchline to match it. Here are my various attempts. I was quite pleased with the final one.

Cartoontastic!



I'm going to be doing some cartoon workshops in my home town of Guildford next May. Cartoontastic! is a day long workshop for adults and will be great fun. There should be a bit of publicity in the local press beforehand and I think I may be doing a (gulp) radio interview too but if you want to get in early the date for the adult workshop is Saturday May 9th from 10.30 am - 3.30pm at the beautiful Guildford House Gallery (built in 1660!). Click here for more details.
I'll also be doing a couple of kids' workshops. The date is Thursday 28th May at 10.30am-12.30pm for kids aged 8-12 and 1.30pm -3.30pm for 13-18 year olds. Click here for the kids workshop details.
See you there.

King Features Launches Comics Kingdom



This is the sort of thing that makes me so pleased to be a King Features Syndicated cartoonist. Comics Kingdom is an innovative comics platform that helps online newspapers create new revenue streams and increase site traffic. It features King Features’ complete portfolio of more than 60 strips (including a 30 day archive) presented in a visually stimulating, user-friendly and community-based entertainment portal. Okay I pinched that blurb from the King Features website but I've been using Comics Kingdom for a while now and it is really good. Now 'Ollie and Quentin' gets a chance to be seen by a wider audience and my strip looks so much better in colour...sorry color.

Visit www.comicskingdom.com to check it out.

Times Herald - Newnan, Georgia


The Times Herald, Newnan is giving 'Ollie and Quentin' a go. The next few weeks of my feature are really good fun so they've come in at the right time. Above is a little taster of things to come, I guess it's a comic trailer.

The real reason Quentin left his hole on the beach




This week saw the reason Quentin left his sand hole on the beach to come and live in the town. It was his irritatingly competitive neighbor Carl that drove him away.
