How to make beef kebabs

By Secret lives of giants

The secret life of giants - making beef kebabsPerhaps 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.

The less documented history of engineering

By Pot Luck

International day of engineeringIn anticipation of the international day of engineering on 15 September 2012, I thought I’d celebrate the wonders of engineering and take a journey back in time, where it all began. During my research, I discovered that it began with the rock, a primitive chisel and an determined woman.

What do Facebook and evil aliens have in common?

By Competitions, Pot Luck

Nothing!

But congratulations to Harold, the winner of the August Name the Evil Pink Aliens Competition with his winning names of Grumble and Grudge.  And because we like to break the rules here, we’ve decided to have a second winner as well with  facelikeafryingpan.wordpress.com coming in as our winner of the middle names for our evil pink aliens with Hank and Chester.

Check out the other notable entries and see why the judges found it so hard to decide.

And for today’s cartoon, check out below.
