It is late, and I have been at Deanery Synod even though I am not a member of Deanery Synod. Suspicious. Here are some end-of-Tuesday links for you: An open letter to Subway about their cheese, from ‘Left handed toons by right handed people’. (Scroll down the page to see the September 10th blog entry…
There is a new church cartoonist in town – see Ian’s Youthful Blog for the particulars. I am impressed. I am not good at doing cartoons about baptism and especially communion, so have secretly made some notes. On a not-really-related-but- slightly-related-I-suppose note, here is a good piece about how to display artwork on the internet….
Former Beano and Dandy artist Graham Kennedy sent me some links to a couple of sites that he runs to do with illustrating the Bible. First of all the Bible Picture Website, which has his work available to buy for use with children’s sunday school groups etc, and then the Bible illustration blog, which deals…
A couple of months ago I posted about the cartoonist ‘Jim’ who we had previously featured on Wibsite.com and his new website. I’m sure you remember. Don’t you? I’m sure you do. Anyhow, Jim (who we’ll call Brendan) very kindly sent me a copy of his cartoon book, entitled ‘Gone Astray’, and I have been…
Gren, one of Wales’ best-known and long-serving newspaper cartoonists, has died aged 72. Gren – real name Grenfell Jones – drew daily cartoons for the South Wales Echo for more than 35 years. BBC report: Iconic newspaper cartoonist dies Lots of Gren’s cartoons can be browsed on his website. (Note: Cartoon blog comments are currently…
A few years ago on Wibsite.com a cartoonist known as ‘Jim’ was a Guest cartoonist and we posted some of his cartoons. Well, Jim now has a website and a book launch this Monday. It is in New Zealand which may be a problem for some. Click the image on the right for details. The…
Yes, there’s a spiritual quality in jokes. I mean I don’t want to say that joking is not part of truth. When you’ve got a good joke you’ve often got a great truth there too, somewhere in there. The lovely thing about humour is not the practised humour, but the spontaneous humour that occurs between…
At the 2005 Christian Resources Exhibition I met Tim Wakeling. I met Tim again this year and he showed me some of the cartoons he had been doing. He has now placed a few on his website ‘for general perusal’. To quote his site: Since September 2005, inspired by the work of Dave Walker at…

I was having a bit of a rubbish day, not least because I mislaid an important item and couldn’t find it anywhere. Not unusual. Fortunately my countenance was made more joyful by the arrival of the post, including a copy of the rather splendid Three Very Small Comics from Cabanon Press. Thanks to Si for…
I’ve learnt, via the Drawn blog that this weekend is the American National Cartoonists Society awards, the Reuben Awards. They are named after Rube Goldberg, whose inventions ‘have become synonymous with any maximum effort to achieve minimal results’. They are quite fun to look at, and include a mechanism to help you ‘Keep from Forgetting…
I’m planning a series of Cartoon Blog posts on some of the cartoonists I like. I started a week or two ago with Australian cartoonist Leunig, and promised that I would post some more links, so here they are: Some cartoons (A bit slow on dialup, but not too bad). Interview from the ‘curly flat’…
Unordered (one of the Wibloggers) posted a link to this Leunig interview . It’s not new, but Leunig is a cartoonist whose work I’ve been admiring in recent months and I always find he has interesting things to say. I’ll post some more links to more of his work over the coming week, hence the…
