Easily Fooled

Eagle eared readers of this blog will know that 'Animal Midnight' is actually a song from Stephen Malkmus' second solo album 'Pig Lib'. What a schoolboy error I made there.

So we've had a general election in Britain and the result is all bullshitty. Seems like we're stuck with Cameron, but hopefully Mr Clegg can put a spanner in the Conservatives plans to privatise everything and put people out of work. I smell austerity measures. Seriously, have you ever heard the word austerity used so much until recently? Electoral reform would be good though. To take your mind off the impending horror, I present a strip I made years ago by cutting pictures out of an old Dukes of Hazard annual. I think it makes some valid points.

Animal Midnight

I have decided to name posts after songs by Pavement to celebrate the current reunion tour which I'm gonna totally miss. Unless they extend it and come to Moscow. Come on lads! Do the decent thing. This is another non-seller that is tenuously linked to the title of this post.

And this one, also tenuously linked, is in Reader's Digest. I sold it to them sometime last year. Two rabbit based gags in two months in Digest. Coincidence? Or is it because it's Easter? (Or was a while ago). Happy Magic Jesus Come Alive Again Day for back then anyway.

No dice, amigo.

First in an occasional series of cartoons I couldn't sell. I've got a lot.

Free Expression

Well, I have finally won a world renowned (Ok-unheard of) cartoon competion: The Council for Secular Humanism Free Expression Cartoon Contest. Top prize was a whopping $2500, which will do very nicely, thank you. I was really proud of this cartoon, as you can see by the previous blog posts on it, but this was an amazing surprise, particularly as I had forgotten about entering the competition in the first place.

Said judge Steve Benson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist for the Arizona Republic, "Wickedly humorous, brutally direct, effectively and simply rendered. A stinging indictment of the Catholic Church's pedophilic priest scandal that allows absolutely no room for the predictable apologetic defense. Left me laughing and wincing at the same time!"

I have reproduced the cartoon below for your viewing pleasure.
