Whilst digging around for my Mutant Turds strip I discovered this old gem. Clearly it was drawn at a time I was too poor to afford plain paper 🙂 Also drawn in 1990 but earlier than the previous strip.

Here’s a cartoon strip I drew back in 1990, featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja “Turds”. Sadly it is a very bad photocopy of the original and I’ve had to do a little restoration work on it to make it readable again. It starred the following characters: Terry the turd Trudie the turd Rolphie (as in Rolf Harris) the original turtles were named after artists. Little did I know at the time about Mr Harris… They travel around in the “pat” mobile and jump down the “poop” chute. Chock full of very poor, poo related gags. I originally submitted this to Viz comic and never received a reply. I’m sure they…

I’ve been digging around in my loft today and I came across the first cartoon I ever had professionally published. Back in October 1993 this was published in “The Cartoonist”. I was so pleased I framed the page, and here it is in all its dusty glory in the bottom left.

Time for some more cartoon archaeology. Verbaliser is a cartoon strip I drew back in 2005. I recently rediscovered my old sketchbooks in the loft. I drew this on my commute to work and busily coloured it in during the evenings. I finally ran out of steam and never got around to colouring the final strip 28 I had drawn, publishing it in black and white. Eagle eyed readers at the time may have noticed strip 25 was missing. Well, that was until now! Step this way to see the full Verbaliser strip from 2005 and beyond. Revel in the excitement of the once missing strip 25. Feast your eyes…
