Don't Look Behind You

Gremlins in the computer today. First this post uploaded to the Maureen Chlorine old website and then the computer suddenly started playing a Baden Powell piece which I don't see how because everything was reformatted a few months ago. What is the date? Is it a magic day or something?
Hot, fiery winds outside. Arthur asleep in front of the fan because this room doesn't have air conditioning.
Well, anyway, here's what it was playing...

Cloud Hopper


Just discovered some pens in Manga Studio Debut 4.0 that make things look...eastern...is that a word one can use ? Who cares. I also realise that when I draw expressions I wear the same one on my face..oh, hello, double spacing?
Well, nobody can see in because a) Henry has vanished again. b)the shutters are down because it is thirty two degrees outside

I couldn't help it.

Here's a link to another one. I just find them incredibly funny and I especially like the cut-out sound effects.

The garden is full of snails and trapped fairies and the wind still blows. Click to enlarge if you want to see an amazing trapped fairy. You'll have to look hard.

Dinner Date Again

Click to enlarge.

I did this years and years ago but I guess some things never change. The real reason I posted is so you can see this video. It immediately makes me want to set up the camera and make one. It really made me laugh. But you don't have to watch it. You may prefer to read The Guardian or do a crossword.

Next Step

And once the idea is in my head I see what happens. Maureen is quite real to me. Her best friend is called Melanie and is the guardian to Gentlydead and Darklydead, teenage female twins who haven't cottoned on that they are twins. Their mother is studying the Brazilian cougar in the Amazon jungle. There's Mad Beach Bob, a retired priest who lives on the beach in a cave. There's Nicolau who plays the accordion. There's Alice who used to be Frank, a lady of well...unladylike qualities. There's an older woman who always has a toyboy but I have forgotten her name so any suggestions please? What would someone with a toyboy be called. No, not Madonna, thank you.

Here's a link to a nifty bit of piano playing. I reckon the lace cuffs are handmade too.
