Excuses for absenteeism

Today has been the first day of my self imposed ‘get a lot done’ cartoon season. It has not been a great success. I have been procrastinating and undertaking non-essential tasks such as allowing my pens to warm up to room temperature. I have worked out that I need to get one really good cartoon done every work day to archive* achieve my goal. Today that has not happened.

But there is always tomorrow. Perhaps I will draw two tomorrow – who know. Actually I have drawn one quite good cartoon which I will post on the blog tomorrow morning but it does not meet the criteria of the ‘get a lot done’ cartoon season.

In the meantime it would be great if you could help me out with an idea or two. This will, I’m afraid, be the first of quite a few during the next two months which are my book deadline months. I will post them all under an ‘Ideas appeal‘ category. It is like a ‘Roof appeal’ but with no roof.

So, today, I need some excuses for being absent from church. They can be good or bad, real-life or made up, plausible or non-plausible. In fact they can be utter rubbish – it makes it all the more fun.

I will not be the only one to benefit from this as you will be able to use the excuses yourself should the need arise. But only if they are true obviously.

Small legal print: If you post an idea in the comments I might use it. If I do you might or might not get a credit in print. You won’t get any money as I will be spending it all on pens that work above or below room temperature. They will be fairly similar to my current ones.

Thanks in advance everyone.
