Ever had a day, when enough is enough?

By That's life

And for 3 time related quotes:

  • The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. British author, CS Lewis
  • The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be. French Poet, Paul Valery
  • For disappearing acts, it’s hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work. My favourite American cartoonist, Doug Larson

 

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil

By Animals

I wanted to create a cartoon with three animals deprived of hearing, seeing and speaking.  The former two were easy to come up with suitable candidates, but the latter was a tad more difficult. I mean, is it possible to be born without a mouth? Well, yes it is, if you are the gnat of the glow-worm.  The humble glow-worm starts its life as an egg (3 weeks), it then becomes a larvae (9 months – as the glow-worm), followed by a pupa (2 weeks), to finally emerge as a gnat.  And the gnat doesn’t have a mouth! This probably explains why it only lives long enough to lay eggs and that’s it (about 3 days).

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

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).
