KPIs

By Insects

I was inspired to create this cartoon whilst getting side tracked in preparation for the annual performance reviews at work (you know, my other job, as an engineer). By the way, apparently worker bees don’t sleep, hence the harsh KPI #3. Now that’s a tough job.

Morning commute

By Animals

Don’t think this train is aerodynamic enough to beat the current world train speed records.  During trials, the French V150 clocked 574 km/hr in 2007 (conventional rail) and the Japanese MLX01 clocked 581km/hr in 2003 (unconventional train – it’s that whizz bang magnetic one).

Hipatitus

I received this definition from a friend’s website newsletter, Talking About.  It listed the results from the Washington Post’s 1998 Mensa Invitational competition, which involved the creation of new words, by playing with combinations of other words.  To see the original list, click here (it also explains the interesting history behind this). If you like playing with words, the website also has an annual competition to create new words. You can view their 2010, 2011 results as well as entering for 2012.

Forecasting fine and sunny

I was very excited to receive a free upgrade for my iPad app (Sketchbook pro) a few weeks ago. It included the provision of bubble drawing!

In my excitement I had to find some excuse to give it a whirl.

April Freebie

By Freebies

It’s a new month, and time for another freebie. In the interest of timing, I’ve broken one of my freebie rules (freebies are on Fridays) by releasing this on Tuesday. Hey, when you’re a self employed, unpaid cartoonist, it’s one of the perks!

If you’re not prepared for Easter yet, or are trying to find a non calorie alternative, then this freebie is for you.  It’s a couple of Bill and Ben Easter cards.

PS. In the interest if copyright, I found these quotes (unknown author – so as far as I’m concerned, it’s up for grabs) and adapted them to suit our little green friends.

One armed freestyle race

By Pot Luck

Did you know that the Paralympics first started in 1948 when Ludwig Guttmann organized a sports competition which involved WW2 veterans that had spinal injuries? From there it has grown from the 1960 event in Rome with 400 participants from 23 countries, to 3806 participants and 136 countries in the Athens 2004 Olympics. Personally, I prefer watching the paralympics. You get a feeling of the true spirit of competition and I’m always amazed in what humans can accomplish.
