Mother's Day

I recently watched a video about a cat in Ireland that adopted three baby ducklings alongside her own litter of kittens. I happen to be a BIG fan of unlikely animal friendships (as is evident from this previous post of mine), and I thought this would make for a perfect Mother's Day illustration. 

This one is dedicated to my mom, who as far as I know has never adopted any ducks, but is a beautiful and fantastic mother nonetheless.

Rocky XIII

Of all the tigers I have ever drawn (about 5), this is one of my favourites. This cartoon actually has an interesting*​ back story. You see, one of my faithful Facebook followers wrote me a message telling me that my cartoons had been haunting her dreams, and she had particularly weird dream with two tigers holding signs - something about 'eye of the tiger' and 'got my eye on you'. Her dream didn't actually make much sense, but I managed to pull it out of the garbage heap, clean it up, and turn it into the greatest Rocky Bolboa cartoon that has ever been made - ever. Thanks Amal for providing the inspiration for this one, and in part making the world a better place.

​*not that interesting

what's new, pussy cat?

ever wonder what cats are saying to each other when they meow? well, thanks to some patented cat translation technology, I was able to decipher some of these meows for a new segment I call 'Animal Pick-up Lines'. Special thanks to everyone who contributed their own lines - Josh, Amal, Kay, and Sandy (sorry Georgie and Jen, I wanted to keep this PG, so I couldn't use yours)..​

"hey baby, I bet I can make you purr.."

"you've lost that love and feline"

"I'm getting neutered tomorrow, so this is your last chance..."

"meeee...OW! you are one fine looking cat"

"I hope the next hairball I cough up is made of your fur..."

"Don't worry baby, I don't scratch. Seriously - I've been declawed"

"Is that catnip you're wearing or is it your smile that's driving me crazy?"

"I'll buy the next one...I'll put it on my tabby!...Get It? Tabby? Like tab...but I said tabby because we're cats..."

"You know...I'm related to the Lion King. Just saying..."

"You know 'The Cat in the Hat'? He's my cousin.."

"You're the most beautiful feline I've ever seen! I'm not LION!....Get it? Lying...lion? I'm funny right? Drink?"

"You smell divine; is that tuna, or chicken liver?"

"Bonjour, do you speak meow?"

"you must be a lazer pointer, because I can't keep my eyes off of you"
