Living on the Ceiling

This has been a bit of an odd week. Having come up with a week of static flavoured cartoons based on a comment left on the GoComics page, I've found the next day's joke telegraphed in the preceding day's comments page. That's the danger of having a vociferous audience of other cartoonists. We all tend to think in the same twisted way.

So: Let's see if anyone can guess what Monday's strip will be about...

Will it be:
a) sausages
b) Smudge's wall
c) Scrumpy
d) slugs

Answers on a postcard please...

Big blue Zot!

I don't normally use those intensely bright RGB colours that can't be reproduced in normal CMYK print - but this cartoon is an exception. I've used an unnatural blue and applied it with a noise brush to represent static electricity. And I think it works.

Zot!

I'd like to thank regular reader Tham Packs for unwittingly inspiring this week's set of cartoons. One of the wonderful things about the comments on GoComics is that some of them can send your mind spinning off in different directions. The comment was in relation to the set of cartoons where Jones explores the inside of a duvet cover (September 10 2010), and was simply 'don't forget the static electricity'. Leave a comment like that to marinate for six or seven months and this and the subsequent two cartoons are the result.
