Introducing Doug Dung Beetle’s other cousin – Tom Tunneler. You may recall from previous posts there are three types of dung beetles: Rollers (Doug), Dwellers and Tunnellers. Well, this is the full set of Doug’s extended family. Tunnellers like to dive deep into dung, then start tunnelling their way through the dung and deep into the earth below. not only does this provide a nice safe home for the beetle, it also acts as a breeding spot for the little baby dung beetle eggs. Unfortunately for Tom, methane gas is explosive.
Perhaps 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.
It’s Friday and that means it’s Friday Freebie for the month of September.
I had such a great response to the last freebie, that I’ve taken a similar approach to this month’s freebie. Click now to grab Doug Dung Beetle’s puzzle mania freebie, especially for the kids and parents/grandparents of kids needing some entertainment.
Yes, my second attempt at the follow on cartoon from yesterday’s Doug the Dung Beetle pooreé cartoon. Gosh, I’ll be a panel cartoonist before I know it!
