It’s what we’ve all been waiting for: animated Monkey News! I swear you won’t see a better animation of a chimp on a building site this year.

There’s more from the same stable at stinkywinkles.com (my new favourite website address), or the monkey news is also included in the free Ricky Gervais video podcast.

Well heck, I thought, any idiot can draw a few cartoons. And blogrot has never shied away from confronting difficult issues in the search for the odd extra reader. So, here goes nothing.

Cartoon 1: A bandy-legged, moon-faced boy makes a startling pronouncement on the nation’s favourite cakebiscuit. In his hand is a copy of David Icke’s Children of the Matrix. The boy may also be wearing a built-up shoe, or it could just be that I can’t draw properly. You decide.

Cartoon 2: A bewhiskered old lady happy-slaps a boy with a tomato for a head. In his cry for help, the boy plunges us headlong into the festering tomato controversy. Discuss.

Cartoon 3: The Rt Rev Sir Dr Ian Paisley, with the tiny body of a ballerina, wades into the Souness aftermath where his beak-like nose is clearly not welcome. Stick to what you’re good at, Ian! (i.e. bellowing and eating Catholics.) You can intimidate me, sir, but you’ll never take away my freedom of speech.

More may follow. Reprint if you dare!

Cup of tea, Mr 'Erriot?

Equally enjoyable, albeit on a smaller scale, was the accompanying short film Boundin’. I’ll never… now don’t take this the wrong way, mind… I’ll never look at a freshly shorn lamb in the same way again.
