It is the 11th of January and I haven’t blogged yet in 2011. This is a scan from my this year’s notebook. The left hand side is a cartoon, in case that needs to be said. I might draw it properly, we shall see. The words on the right hand side have been left in…
When I walk through the valley of the shadow of the dearth of cartoon inspiration (sorry…) I sometimes need a little encouragement to lift my spirits. Fortunately such a boost occurred yesterday, when I was described by the Telegraph’s Blog Editor Damian Thompson as “the world’s worst cartoonist”. Had he described me as “a mediocre…

Hello. As you can see I forgot to blog here during April. Here is why (warning: pretty dull). I have been: Blogging from the G20 Blogging from Spring Harvest (You can find both of these via Church Times blog: April) Finishing my 2010 calendar . This nearly killed me, as it always does. Posting on…
I was searching online for a small bicycle thingummy-whathaveyou, and came across this on a bicycle shop website: Workshop sweepings approx 250g bag (£4.99). It is described thus: A 1/2lb (approx) mixed bag of nuts, bolts, washers and other bits that have fallen onto our workshop floor during bike builds/repairs. I was wondering whether there…
Well, the Lambeth Conference has been and gone. I had hoped to write more about it, but time has run out and I’m now taking a bit of a break from the blog for a couple of weeks. Welcome, by the way, to readers of the Echo (local paper for south Essex): ‘Cartoonist raises bishops’…
On Friday we went to see the Radio 4 comedy show New World Order being recorded. It is by Danny Wallace and was very entertaining… and free. Before we went into the actual studio-sort-of-area we had to write a question to ask the ruler of the world. Ten or so people were selected to read…
Just to say thank you to a number of people who have responded thus far to my request for helpers at Lambeth. I may not get back to everyone before Thursday as I’m out of the office today and still waiting to hear from one or two people. Thank you. Dave
A word about comments on this site. I appreciate the comments that are posted here, I really do. I’d like this to be a place where there is room for debate and even disagreement. However, there are a few things I need to say. First of all, rules. These need to be posted somewhere more…
My real day job has been revealed by a kind commenter who sent me the following link: Patch Man To quote the site: Yellow is the color of manliness in this shawl-collared, saddle-shouldered, patch-elbowed pullover. Ann Budd added ribbing at the shoulders and patches in a contrasting yarn. Warm and fabulous. Made in Tahki Donegal…
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…
This is a mishmash of posts that I will not have time to make before we leave for Greenbelt and various other places. Vegetables This is to show what can be grown in fairly small plastic pots in a garden in Essex by people who usually remember to do the watering but not always. Prayer…

I’m aware that this is a rain cartoon, not a hypochondria cartoon, but I cannot find the hypochondria one and it is too late to scan as it will wake the neighbours. “It is that blessed cartoonist and his 2am scanning again”, they will exclaim as they are awakened from their slumber. 2am typing is…
As I am sure you will appreciate these are times of heightened security for ecclesiastical cartoonists. It is likely that my every move is being watched by a member of Reform hiding in the undergrowth clutching a copy of Two Ways to Live and reporting back at regular intervals to a coalition of interested parties…
I have signed up to Twitter, the service that allows anyone to make their own version of the dullest blog in the world (which, incidentally, will come back. In the fullness of time). All over the world people are sending text-message-length messages to Twitter saying what they are doing. Which is not terribly interesting, but…
I’ve removed my post about the M25 motorcycle ride in the light of this sad news.
