Topic of the Month – August 2017
Posted on: July 27, 2017This month’s topic is ‘Rainbows’, which feature quite often in my cartoons. One reason is that I think the transition from red to purple through all the other colours is the most attractive way to arrange them, the other is that there are so many legends and sayings around rainbows, which makes them good fodder for cartoons.

Topic of the Month – July 2017
Posted on: June 30, 2017This month’s topic is ‘Quests’, to follow that star etcetera. A profound topic, with probably many profound things to say about it, but I’ll let the cartoons do the talking (profundity not guaranteed).
Next month’s TOTM is Rainbows.
Every month this website will feature ten to twenty Horacek cartoons on a chosen topic. I chose them alphabetically. All cartoons are ©Judy Horacek. I’d rather you … more »

Topic of the Month – May 2017
Posted on: April 30, 2017This month’s topic is ‘Ocean’. The extraordinary, mysterious ocean – source of all life and lots of play. Whether playing a starring role in a cartoon, or simply there as a backdrop, you can’t beat the ocean.
Next month’s TOTM will begin with ‘P’. That’s all I know, so that’s all I’m saying.

Topic of the Month – April 2017
Posted on: March 31, 2017This month’s topic is ‘Night’. Which for Patti Smith might belong to lovers, but for these cartoons seems more to belong to insomnia and visual gags. With lots of stars and moons, and more crosshatching than your average TOTM, here are cartoons to face the darkness with.
Next month’s TOTM will be ‘Ocean’.

Topic of the Month – March
Posted on: February 28, 2017This month’s topic is ‘Monsters’, of all sorts. Looking at these as a collection, clearly I have issues with bêtes noires (thanks Diane, for the handy hint on how to get the accent on the ‘e’). But there are monsters of other kinds here too, hope you enjoy them, or whatever it is one does with monsters.
Next month’s TOTM will be … more »
