What do Doug and Sisyphus have in common

By Dung Beetles

My thanks to Gus, one of the first to ‘like’ my new Facebook Page. He liked Doug so much (and who wouldn’t), he suggested Doug finds a suitable roll model. For those not up with ancient Greek mythology, you can read about poor Sisyphus, who was banished to an eternity of having to roll a rock up a mountain, only to have it roll back down again…and so it goes on. If you read a bit more about him, you can’t feel too sorry for him, as he doesn’t appear to be the nicest person to have ever roamed the planet.

Snow White heads Down Under

By That's life

Thanks to my friend Mark for this idea. Funnily enough, he assists people with migration to Australia. I’m not sure if Snow White is one of his current clients. So a small plug for Mark, if you want to migrate, check out his website, www.ozrma.com, for further details.

Doug becomes a Dad

By Dung Beetles

My thanks to Troy for this contribution.

Did you know there are 3 kinds of dung beetles? Rollers, tunnellers and dwellers (Doug is a rock ‘n’ roller).

A roller sculpts a chunk of dung into a ball and rolls his prize away from its initial source. It’s then used for food later on, or the female lays her eggs in it (so the babies won’t starve on birth). A tunneller will fly to find it’s prey, then dive into it and undergo a sub terrain excavation to bury as much of the prize as possible, within an underground tunnel. And my favourite – the dweller, who takes up residence in the dung pile (well, its the eggs that do this. the adult lays their eggs in the dung so that when they hatch they have ample food to get them started). Who could ask for a better home?

Strong gravitational pull ahead

By Bill and Ben the little green alien men

Yes, this might look familiar to some, but if you look carefully, you’ll note the hazard sign is different. Besides, it was time for another Bill and Ben cartoon.

And while we’re on the topic of Bill and Ben, being 2 of the 3 judges, they’ve been keenly viewing all submissions to the competition (now at 29 entries). I hear a raucous of laughter from outside my studio every now and then and discover them viewing the latest entries.  So if you haven’t entered, there’s still time, plus you have the weekend ahead to think about it.

Love your job

By Dung Beetles

Two things I’ve learnt so far:

  1. a job for life if you don’t love it, is more of a prison sentence than a life enhancer
  2. when experiencing ‘cartooning block’ go for toilet humour

The Facebook ‘Like’ phenomonon started before Facebook

By Dogs


I couldn’t think of a better cartoon to officially launch my new Facebook Page, www.facebook.com/justoutsidetheboxcartoon.

Why not have a bit of Friday fun and splash, I mean ‘Like’, my Page? (the engineer in me is struggling to refrain from the stats, but more than the current 11 likes would be a nice start). I will be posting extra cartoon sketches on Facebook, so come and visit every now and then.

To celebrate, this launch will coincide with the 2nd Friday Freebie. Stay tuned. It will come out shortly today.

PS. My thanks to Jeff for helping me with the cartoon caption

Catch 22

By That's life

I was recently asked to make a cartoon on cats. Being a dog lover, I possibly was not the right person to ask. Sorry Hilary and any other cat lovers out there.
