    Just discovered your site this morning (via mumsnet) and very glad I did. Particularly like this one. Wondering if it’s a coincidence that the plane going down and volcano erupting have been drawn over the last few days before Mothers Day. For me, regrettably, there is usually a last minute, panicked, ‘Mayday, mayday – need to do something for Mothers Day, haven’t done anything yet…’ quality to the final countdown.
    :-)
    Cheers, Oli.

    Thanks for that Oli. Sorry for the delay in posting the comment.

    No it wasn’t quite that bad re the plane and mother’s day! Although it was a last minute effort. We made a cake. In my mind I had Calvin and Hobbes when I drew the plane. This is very much indebted to Bill Watterson!

    No worries. Believe it or not, on reflection on that post, or picture, I did in fact think of Calvin and Hobbes, and in particular think of the strip with the train crash / earthquake / gas explosion. Exactly ten years after Bill retired, I have discovered your excellent work. Happy days.
