Hooray, Mildred Calendar gets the go-ahead!

The 2019 Mildred Calendar is definitely going ahead! My crowdfunding campaign on Pozible flew past the target within the first few days. Exciting times indeed.
So, what now? I have decided the sky may as well be the limit and added what is known in Pozible world as a Stretch Goal. The new goal means we can make even more calendars … more »
Pozible campaign for Mildred
Posted on: August 24, 2018 · No comments
I launched a new Pozible campaign! This one is for a Calendar for 2019, starring my occasional character Mildred.
Many of you have already met Mildred, and seen her acerbic and/or gloomy takes on life. Life is sometimes hard for her, but that makes for great cartoons. I’ve decided that Mildred deserves more limelight, and what better way to do this … more »

Happy World Environment Day!
Posted on: June 5, 2018 · 2 comments
Today, June 5, is World Environment Day. Since I started cartooning (decades ago), the environment has always been one of my favourite topics.
I don’t mean favourite in the sense that doing cartoons about the environment is easy, it’s depressing to see how we continue to treat out planet, as if we could just go out and get another one when … more »
Cartoon for our times
Posted on: April 16, 2018 · No comments
I created my ‘What difference does it make’ cartoon a number of years ago. In fact it was last century. Tragically it is still as current today as it was then. Possibly even more so. It was originally published in the Australian Magazine. I can’t say I hope you enjoy it, because it’s not that sort of cartoon. It may … more »
Green Sheep goes to Vietnam

Where is the Green Sheep? has just been published in Vietnam, in a bilingual Vietnamese-English edition. That makes quite a few languages the Green Sheep is now in – English, Spanish/English, Korean, Kryzg, Hebrew and Maori. Translations of rhyming books are tricky, because of course the words don’t necessarily rhyme in the new language, but somehow it’s working out. I love … more »
