Not quite my usual style, but I needed something to get the message across.

Warning
Just a small warning to anyone with a baby box, in case you didn’t understand what would happen to a cardboard box when you choose to set it on fire.
Yes Bikers
Just a quick inky doodle tribute to the Yes Bikers.
It would seem I’m in the middle of an extended period of depression, it’s last several months so far. This is the main reason for the almost complete absence of cartoons recently. It’s left me feeling very much lacking in creativity. I’m seeking help with it though so hopefully things will pick up soon.
Prime Minister’s Question
I do hope someone asks this today. It’s seems like such a basic thing. If Rudd resigned because the letter proved that she lied, then why isn’t the receiver (who defended her) also expected to resign? But then, as the May Bot has proven so apt to do at Prime Minister’s Questions, I’m sure she won’t give us an answer.
Thistle do!
Just a happy wee thistle enjoying the weather 🙂
Turning in
Thanks to u/raicopk on Reddit and Catalans for Yes for assistance with translation for this one.
If you follow my cartoons, you’ll notice something different about this one, and it’s not just that for once I drew people’s ears… Skin tones! In the past, I have quite deliberately not used skin tones at all. My reasoning had been that if I didn’t put any skin colour, my characters would be raceless and anyone would be able to associate with them (similarly, my animal characters are genderless, so that girls and boys can call them he/she/whatever, applying their own or other genders however they may like, for instance, I say “the unicorn did…” rather than “he/she did…”).
However, I’ve come to the conclusion that my decision to leave my characters all skin toneless didn’t make them inclusive, but rather created a whitewashing effect. My characters all looked, let’s face it, white. By trying to include all races, I unintentionally excluded all but one.
Starting with this cartoon, I am ending my practice of not including skin tones. All human characters from now on will have skin tones, and I shall try to represent the full spectrum of skin tones our planet has to offer as often as possible. The exception, of course, will be on cartoons where no colour is used at all.
Loch Yes Monster 3
It only just occured to me that I hadn’t actually published this one yet, despite the auction for the original watercolour of it being online since the weekend!
Do go check out the auction, it’s in support of Little Shop of Heroes, who have found themselves in a little bit of financial trouble after having to cancel Dunfermline Comic Con due to the bad weather.
So this is the third version of Loch Yes Monster (I think), I just wanted to update it with the new style I’ve been drawing my Nessies in recently 🙂
Beast from the… loch
With all the snow from this so called “Beast from the East”, I was reminded of all the snow goons built by Calvin in Calvin and Hobbes, I figured I’d try my hand at drawing snow myself 🙂
Pride Nessy (watercolour)
This is the second remake of an old favourite for Purple Friday 🙂
Naughty Unicorn – LGBT+
So this is another recreation of an old favourite in watercolour. Last year the Scottish Parliament became the first in Europe to commit to teaching children about LGBT+ issues and teaching them that being LGBT+ really isn’t a that weird.
Today is Purple Friday in Scotland, which is the last Friday of LGBT History month. A day to make think of all the little gestures we can all make to make LGBT children and adults feel included.
