To blend in with the general human population, making it easier to infiltrate society and—in time—conquer it.

hehe. Speaking of jokes, this one has just been voted the best Irish joke of 2006:
John O’Reilly hoisted his beer and said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me
life, between the legs of me wife!” That won him the top prize at the pub
for the best toast of the night! He went home and told his wife, Mary, “I
won the prize for the Best toast of the night” She said, “Aye, did ya now.
And what was your toast?” John said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me
life, sitting in church beside me wife.” “Oh, that is very nice indeed,
John!” Mary said.
The next day, Mary ran into one of John’s drinking buddies on the street
corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, “John won the prize the other
night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary.”
She said, “Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised me self. You know,
he’s only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and
the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come.”

Why?: Because drawing is all I know and I have a secret stationary fetish! Inspired by the cartoons in VIZ, I attempted full time cartooning in the 90’s. Gave up drawing for about 8 years, and then started again May 2006 - inspired by the Blogging revolution. Self publishing is great, but not profitable.
My cartoon heros are: Gary Larson, Sergio Aragones, and Gerald Scarf.
Favourite Comedians are: Bill Bailey, and Eddie Izzard.
Favourite Colour is: Blue.
Joke: I was driving up the motorway and my boss phoned me and he told me I’d been promoted. I was so shocked I swerved the car. He phoned me again to say I’d been promoted even higher and I swerved again. He then made me managing director and I went right off into a tree. The police came and asked me what had happened. I said “I careered off the road
A wallet is a place where you carry everyone elses money.
I plan on quiting working when I’m 55,… and if my boss figure it out, … I’ll retire when I”m 65.
I’ve gained so much weight I’m about to have an “out of body” experience.

I enjoy creating editorial cartoons that express my opinions on things in hopefully and interesting, humorous way. I have strong political feelings, and editorial cartooning lets me get those feeling heard/seen. I wish I were a better artist, and I continue to try to get better, but my sense of humor seems to be carrying me forward in the business. And it’s always nice to hear from someone saying “I really enjoyed your cartoon last week.”
Retired reading teacher and radio disc jockey. I have cartooned as a hobby all my life and now have two cartoon blogs. The Scribbler’s Pen are toons of a conservative political nature.
