Evil pink aliens return to your local carpark

By Evil aliens

My family stickers and aliensCome, join the bandwagon and enter the Name the pink aliens with purple spots and fluffy feathers August competition.

I’m not sure how prolific the ‘My Family’ car stickers are world-wide, but at a guess they infest about 1 in every 5 cars here in Melbourne. Infest – yes, a touch harsh. I initially fell in love with these cute cartoon characters the first time I saw them (How couldn’t I? They are cartoons after all). But for me now, they’ve become common and no longer quirky and hence an obvious cartoon subject for my evil pink aliens. Maybe I should come out with a rival company called Evil Pink Aliens (probably not as commercial).

Fancy a threesome?

By Science

We need more ozone to save the planet don’t we? I particularly like the double hand holding bond between the O2 twins, don’t you?

Usain Bolt versus Higgs Boson

By Science

I couldn’t help myself and had to make another Usain Bolt cartoon, but this time I teamed him up with our latest subatomic particle friend, Higgs Boson. Higgs is not known for his speed, unlike our friends the photon and neutrino, but perhaps his life span is the more impressive aspect. The Higgs’ mean life span is a measley 1 zeptosecond (10−21).  No wonder physicists have found him to be so elusive in nature!

Usain Bolt versus Neutrino

By Science

Poor Neutrino, after his initial glory of the being the fastest, and then an error in equipment leading to his rapid demotion, and just recently with Usain Bolt pipping him at the post with an amazing Olympic record time of 9.63s for the 100m sprint.

This cartoon was a true team effort, with my thanks going to Mark from AusMigrate who provided the initial idea.

And for subscribers, consider this extra surprise cartoon for the day as a thanks for all your support!

Eat your heart out Carmen Miranda

By Bill and Ben the little green alien men

My favourite gadget is my glue gun. Sad I know, but having grown up as a child who loved making things without one, I’ve learnt to embrace the wonders of this useful tool. I glued this together for a fancy dress in just 3 hours.

I think that the little green aliens are a special extra touch too, but they wouldn’t let me glue them in place.

Security breach

By IT and Computer Stuff

My experience to date with Cloud technology has been mixed. On the annoying side, I used it initially to transfer cartoons from one iPad to another, only to have the cartoon mysteriously disappear from one iPad (supposedly into the Cloud) never to be seen again. It got stuck up there with no way of retrieving it. Well, maybe there was a way, but I gave up and got on with life and drew a couple of Cloud related cartoons to seek my vengeance. (Evil, aren’t I?)

My next experience was confusing at first. My partner was overseas for work. While he was gone I noticed all these strange photos appear in my iPad photo stream (from his iPhone). Luckily for him they were all clean photos of restaurant banquets and people generally having a great time out. No wonder I had no sympathy on his return from a long, tiring, stressful work trip away!
