Congratulations on your advancement to 8k+ category, Peter.
The eagle is one of the better maco-bird images around here.....I think it should suffice to bestow upon you a honorary citizenship of USA.

Still keeping me out of Canada then...?

How much harder should I try, I wonder....

Haha :) Sure, ask me to be a guest cartoonist should the need ever arise where you want none of the characters to be on model, and look like they were drawn by a first grader. ;) Of course, I realize no one wants to insult first graders' art skills like that :lol:

Go, Mike, go! Keep it up. It's about time these guys got their own cartoonist... I sit back and watch with anticipation for your installments. :D

Watch that lad MR, he'll be knicking all our best craic. He's not really a Tupper at heart anyway, more a junior surrealist ... he's on auto-pilot over there but is scared of the wife :rolleyes:

I feel there are scripting and brand pitching issues here. The cartoons are suitably crap with added gusto, but there is too much allusion to Tupper with them sucky Cows and such. We don't discuss that kind of thing here or we'll end up all depressive and 'girly'. This is a manly thread with some added confident, self assured womens too. None of the belly-button fluff plucking they love so much ova there. Ranch is too AmeriKan too. This is a World Thread. I think at root we need more edge, but that is a very decent first go.

Ah, Condy, you've given me the brush! Unfair, sir. Too bad, too, as I was willing to put pen to paper, give my mind some room and give a decent rendition of my true versions of what you and Pete look like. 'Tis a shame and pity. But, as you now have Raiford, my services will not be needed here.

As for "knicking all your best craic", I don't have the time nor patience to wait for it to finally arise. ;) :D

Good luck with your edge, amigos. May it never get duller... than it is already.

Wake me up when Puddle has finished his half-ar*ed sardonic leKture ...

I dinna want a Puddle cartoon, would be too infused with the architypical bitterness of a boy forced to play with the girls. We got our own talented lad willing to go the extra to achieve excellence and Kharmic awesomeness; why would need sumfink second hand?

So MR, I am likin' yer little pictures. Drop the comparatives with the Tupping crew and we are away. We seek a unique vision powered by your deepest imagination. So, go to the next level on your escalator of craic and see what yer discover. Your images have a primal force and the edge is almost there a gleamin'. Stick at it and we look forward to seeing your number two :-)

That's a Grebe... It's not a duck...

Surely a lake as big as Geneva will have more than a few ducks....?
