Climate change, the truth, and how long do I have to live?


'Climate Change' is the first of a series of cartoons I'm currently working on that bring together a lot of old doodles I have lying around, (so that they resemble jokes rather than doodles). As more pages are completed I hope to post them here. Next up is, 'When Sex Games Go Wrong'.


I started doodling in this way (roughly five years ago) using the amorphous character with pronged hands as a way of expressing any thought that came to mind that raised a smile and a feeling of amused euphoria. I later decided that I liked that character, whether or not I had planed anything grand at the outset, and based my first book around him (and his identical friend Philip Lovecraft). I like the idea of working with a character that looks vulnerable. That is really the essence of those characters. They are very sensitive, very vulnerable, and very needy.
