“KRudd” cartoon appears in Heat 4 of the New Matilda Cartooning Competition
A word about the cartoon
You don’t always get what you want… but you do generally get what you need. Whether you actually like it or not is irrelevant… and of little consequence to anybody. Except of course to the poor buggar who’s getting what he needs instead of what he wants on a regular basis.
When that person is you… then all bets are off. You just have to stick to the plan… and keep your fingers crossed that when the dust settles you’ll come out the other end of it alright. All you can do in the meantime is stick your chest out… put your nose to the grindstone… and carry on regardless. (Although granted it is kind of hard to stick your chest out with your nose to the grindstone and keep walking all at the same time – grin)
But if you can manage all that… there’s one thing you can count on and that’s for sure. I’ll be right there beside you to help flatten the next person who tells you “what doesn’t kill you makes you strong”
Okay? (grin)
So here’s to bigger better brighter days everyone. We need ‘em. We earned ‘em. And we’re going to get ‘em!
Eventually… (((chuckles)))
Meanwhile… I have been busy preparing cartoons for the New Matilda Awards currently being staged at www.newmatilda.com The first cartoon (above) was sent in this week and with a bit of luck will appear sometime soon. The competition is for political cartooning and the awards run in a series of weekly heats (judged by public vote)… right up until June when a final winner will be selected from the winners of each heat by the nominated judging panel.
Have a Happy Easter everyone… I hope the Easter bunny brings you chocolate! Now there’s something we definitely all want but probably don’t necessarily need.
And NO… Universe… you didn’t hear that from me!
