Thanks to Face Like a Frying Pan for helping me with this idea for another Secret lives of giants series cartoon.
This is a special big thank you gift to all of you for reading my cartoons and ‘liking’ Doug the Dung Beetle (undoubtedly one of my favourite characters).

I became intrigued by the glow worm when I initially created this glow worm cartoon (boy, the drawings have improved since then, haven’t they?) early on in my website. It was then that I discovered that the glow worm was part of a four stage cycle (egg, glow worm, pupa and gnat/fly). The last stage purely involves reproduction and hence no time to eat, so no need for a mouth I guess.
You may recall the recent discovery of King Richard in a car park in February 2013. It’s taken me this long to actually getting around to drawing this.
I’m very excited to be releasing my first children’s picture book starring Doug the Dung Beetle – The Long Roll Home.
It’s now available in Apple’s iBookstore (or iTunes) for your iPad (also coming out soon as hardback on Amazon).
But that’s enough of a plug, as now I have a favour to ask you and as you know I don’t ask for many favours.
Please check out the book if you have an iPad. I admit that dung mightn’t be your cup of tea (and if not, then why not by now?). So don’t feel obliged to buy, but please tell a friend, who might be interested in a bit of toilet humour.
Yep, this is my flashy marketing campaign – word of mouth – and it all starts with you!
Hopefully it will not end in Chinese whispers with a result of ‘Mug the Coffee Cup – the long cold drink’. Here’s to becoming a big, shiny pitchfork in the haystack!
