Thanks to Face Like a Frying Pan for helping me with this idea for another Secret lives of giants series cartoon.
Perhaps I should re-title this post as
‘How to not win the 39th annual Piracicaba International Humour cartoon competition’
Ahh, not that I’m upset. My ego is stronger than that! (just)
Boldly I decided to enter the competition (heck, it’s free and open up to the world. I had nothing to lose). There are 5 categories, of which I entered the first category
- Cartoon (humor with universal themes and timeless)
- Charge (journalistic themes nowadays)
- Caricature
- Comic Strip
- Theme Intolerance
Not only that, I could enter 3 cartoons, so I did (stay tuned, they’ll be coming out shortly). I even got a friend of mine to translate (below) the caption into Portuguese (that cost me a chocolate frog too). Don’t the Brazilians love their beef? Surely, I was on a winner?
But alas no, it was not to be. But if you are interested in seeing what the winners came up with, here are the winning cartoons from the Piracicaba International humour exhibition.
I have Oddsock from Flickr to thanks for this crop circle photograph, as I would have struggled to get a photo like this by myself.
And as an added bonus, these cotton buds come soaked in lanolin, for a soft and moisturising facial clean. No wonder it’s the giants number one choice in make up removal.
Whilst playing farm yard animals with my daughter a few weeks back, she asked me if I wanted a glass of milk. Naturally keen to demonstrate a positive attitude towards all things wholesome and healthy I replied ‘yes please!’ She proceeded to squeeze the soft toy’s tummy over an empty cup. I decided to take it one step further in this cartoon and add the shake.
