August 2007

August 1, Strip 233.
Rain, rain, go away…
One o clock is when my lunch break starts. It’s also when the one o’clock cloud appears without fail and it starts raining. Maybe this will make it go away again.

August 6, Strip 235.
Sunburn.
I’m a redhead. I’m not as firey as I used to be when I was a child, but I still have all the associated problems that go with a copper top, mainly an extreme sensitivity to sunlight. I have to wear SPF50 in New Mexico in the middle of winter. A few days ago I dared to go for a walk along the seafront and ended up with an atomic suntan – the kind that only affects the side of your face that was facing the blast.
Anyway, this was my way of marking the belated return of that yellow thing in the sky. I think it’s called the Snu.

August 27. Strip 244.
Landscape.
I don’t often get to draw a landscape, as this tends to be an indoors cartoon most of the time. I thought I’d celebrate August Bank Holiday Monday with a view of the sort of chalk downs Kent and Sussex are famous for.
