Employment

If that is her job, she's very good at it.

Rubby's rejection

Shyness

This is one from when my daughter had just started school. She's a bit more socially sophisticated now.

Impossible homework

We googled the full question and found the homework sheet available as a download online (www.primaryresources.co.uk/maths/ mathsE2.htm). I don't think the teacher can have checked it before handing it out.

Bankers’ Bonuses

Christmas List

Curse those TV adverts.

In the restaurant

What a fortnight we've had. We've all been ill one after the other.

Swollen Face

Proof if it were ever needed that little boys are allergic to getting washed. His face has gone back down again now. Very weird.

Subject or object?

Too true

Firework Night

I can't remember the time I last saw a whole display from start to finish.

Wobbly tooth

First bash at animation

No sound yet. I've changed the look a bit, because it's easier having contained spaces to fill. My son doesn't look quite right yet. It's a work in progress!

Royal Mail

I somehow suspect that by the time the Queen has figured out how to send an email and several hundred centenarians have figured out how to open it, a letter would be quicker.

Hello All. Sorry for the gap - it's been difficult to find time to do the cartoons recently. I got whacked out and then my pens ran out, which I took as a sign to have a rest.

I'm hoping that I can get them commissioned so that I'll be able to justify spending more time on them, rather than having to do them at night / before the children wake up. (I work with my husband through the day).

I've also been learning how to animate the little blighters, which is exciting. Lots of ham acting up in the attic from the two of them.

New pens are ordered up for today, so should be back to normal soon.

Big Part

I think quite a few children are playing buildings.

School Pick Up

Parental Involvement Day at school

Repeat to yourself... It is not a competition with the other parents... it is not a competition with the other parents. Parental Involvement Day brings out the worst in me.

Visiting Secondary School

We've got a couple of years to go yet, but the children with older siblings are already passing on the social dos and don'ts. I have been seriously instructed not to do anything that could possibly blow his cool.

Walk to school

An unexpected answer

Blimey.

Can I see your medical qualifications?

With thanks to mmelindor (top tweeter) for the idea for this one. I guess we all reach the stage where mummy's kisses can't fix it.

Spooky

Childhood passing

I blame Toy Story 3.

Opportunist

The morning routine

Every day, the same old routine...

Are you there, mum?

Respect my art

Rewards

I've got a feeling he’s not going to be so into sweets by the time he passes his test.

Bad hair day

My 100th cartoon!

Space Baby

More school dinners (second helpings)

I think that there must be a problem with the dinners at school since the kids got back. They really don’t like them.

School dinners

Mosquito

Apologies for the late return - we've come back to find that someone’s trying to build four town houses 3 metres from the end of our garden - it’s been a bit distracting. Hopefully back to normal from now on.

Holidays

We're off on Holiday again. Back on the 3rd Sept.

Easy peasy

A funny relationship

Age

God’s tailor

Performing dog

With thanks to a fellow mumsnetter for this one.

Dawn chorus in a camper van

Reluctant Audience

Best friends

Etc. etc. Note to self: When in hole, stop digging.

Endangered species

Oh dear. Poor bug.

Picky eaters

Good question

We'd never really thought about it. I mean, I know space looks black and not blue like the earth daytime, but I think that the sky is only blue because of the atmosphere(?). Near the sun, we decided you wouldn't need a torch. There'd also be no night because the sun shines all the time. But there must be areas of space where no light reaches and then it would be dark all the time and you wouldn't be able to see where you were going? Or am I wrong? Any rocket scientists out there?

Not as funny

The performance

A cousin becomes separated from his shorts

Dam busters

A passing dad co-ordinated all the children into one team to block the flow of a small stream into the sea. By the time the dam burst about half an hour later, several families had settled down in its path.
