Don’t Hide Your Head in Your Shell!

This is a colour version of the cartoon featured in the Wellington Times this week. The initial concept came from a group of concerned citizens, and I was more than happy to develop the cartoon for them.

Take a minute and visit the blandings turtle site. The attempt to save our environment by destroying it’s inhabitants is more than ironic, it’s moronic.

I’m Melting!

Had some lovely rain and cooler temperatures lately, so I’ve been able to pack my ice suit back into the freezer…for now…

 

 

 

Blech, mosquitos…

Actually, mosquito bites don’t really have an affect on me the next day. Wine on the other hand…

Stanley Come Home!

Would you think less of me if I told you I cried a little when I made this?

Great White North.

Aahhh the light – it’s blinding me!!!

I should say that I in no way condone sun tanning.

It’s Your Problem, You Fix It.

I find it interesting that people who don’t want industrial wind complexes in Important Bird Areas or other endangered habitats would be labelled as N.I.M.B.Y’s. I live relatively close to Ostrander Point, maybe 10-15 km, but it’s far enough away that turbines there shouldn’t have a negative affect on my daily life. So do I think that it’s a suitable place for giant turbines? Uh, no. If we need to fix a human-made energy crisis, (and let’s face it, we do) then we need to fix it without further affecting the world around us. Why should endangered birds have to live with our stupid fixes?

Faux-pocalypse

As if we didn’t have enough to worry about, the recent ‘end of day’s’ scenarios are just taking focus off of very real problems. Unfortunately, with 2012 around the corner, we’re not likely to see the end of them.

Picton For Sale.

Lots of turn over downtown these days, although it should be noted that there are several help wanted signs up here and there, so that’s got to be a good thing!

An Election of Titanic Proportions.

This is going to be an interesting couple of years, hopefully all the changes in the political landscape don’t sink us.

I should have some kind of prize for someone who can come up with a better sign than “(Conservative) Icebergs dead ahead”. Let’s see what I have lying around here for prizes, some colourful lint, 3 leftover licorice allsorts, a shiny mason jar lid…

Epic Battle!

Seriously, if I could see one thing before I die, this might be it.

And don’t even get me started on the Iggy-Spock comparisons!
